Re:Connect Workshop Series is about reconnecting with our hands — remembering the joy, focus, and fulfillment that comes from making something tangible. From candle-making to fabric dyeing, bookbinding to mending garments, paper-making to hand-built ceramics — this is a call to reawaken our tactile senses, share our skills, and help others rediscover the value of working slowly, with intention.
