# Event Details - **Event Name**: Material Lineages - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 09 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 09 Dec, 2025 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Fiber as spell, cloth as legacy, thread as ancestral path.About this EventDescription In every cloth lies a story, a spell, and a lineage. This workshop invites participants to explore textiles not only as carriers of memory, but as vessels of magic, ritual, and sustainability. We will trace the threads that connect our work to those who spun, wove, and mended before us---family, community, and the more-than-human world. Through guided making, storytelling, and shared reflection we will:✨ Invoke textile lineages--honoring the makers, traditions, and materials that shape our practice✨ Explore ritual in fiber work-- stitches as incantations, cloth as protective cloth, making as a form of devotion✨ Weave sustainability into action--using reclaimed fabrics, natural fibers, and mindful processes that hone the land and reduce waste✨ Uncover the magic of mending and making--as acts of healing, grieving, remembrance, and resistance. Participants will leave with a small, self-made textile talisman and a deeper sense of connection to the unseen thread linking craft, ancestors, and the earth. No prior textile experience is needed--only curiosity and a willingness to listen to the stories cloth embodies.?Event DetailsTuesday, December 9 · 6 - 8 pmLimited to 7 participants$27Additional Details:Registration required.
