Did you know that many U.S. presidents had secret talents? It’s true! George Washington was a dancer and Eisenhower was a painter.* From performing music, stilt-walking, script-writing and more, U.S. leaders made time to follow their passions. At Marine Mills Folk School, we’re here to support you on your creative journey. Whether you’re interested in Hand Stitching or Food Preservation, Photography with a Young Friend or Carving Stonewe have a class that will inspire you. And you can always connect with other curious folks at our community events: monthly Open Carving and Bluegrass Jam Sessions, and weekly Knit Nights. Whether virtually or in-person, we can’t wait to see you soon!

Mindful Stitching - In-Person
 
If our hand stitching tells a story, what would your stitches say about you? Would they be long, linear and smooth? Maybe they'd be short, staccato and jumbled. In this class, you’ll slow down and give yourself time to process the passage of time with hand work. You’ll come away grounded and with new insights into your beautiful self.

Instructor Maddy Bartch will help you explore the benefits of mindful stitching in this entry-level, in-person workshop on Saturday, February 26. Learn more and register.
