OCTOBER 18 | Mike Durkin: Mending Quilt

Let us mend together. Mike will conduct story-sharing sessions centering around mending, while we mend our clothing or supplies. With a partnership with Fabscrap, audiences and Mike will focus on sustainability, in fashion and in community. Participants will gather with torn clothes and items and Mike will teach and help mend those clothing items. We will also talk about other areas in our life we need to mend, relationships, habits, and other important issues the participant is engaged in. We then will contribute to making a collaborative quilt. Each participant will make a square which will be sewn into the quilt. This process of making will lead to an improvisation, a dance, some movement, music, a collaborative experience building off of the conversations and movements of making.
