Under the Moon: The Third Space

​Join us on Friday, May 15 for a special iteration of Under the Moon: The Third Space.

​Inspired by one of our students, Sydney Gong, whose film explores the essential role of third spaces for human flourishing, and their scarcity in the city, we decided to create our very own.

​Third spaces are the "places outside of the home (the first place) and the workplace (the second place) where people go to converse with others and connect with their community."

​Slow down, connect, and learn mending and upcycling with guest textile artist Annelle Landes 🪡

​At your own pace, catch our student films in the film lounge upstairs — including Syd's — or just have a cup of tea, and unwind in cozy corners 🍵

​All ages are welcome.

​We look forward to having you🌛

​About Mindful Mending

​Fabric scraps, needles, thimbles, and thick thread will be provided. Landes will show you how to repair clothes (or a sample piece of fabric she’ll provide) using simple techniques that work best on certain fabrics. The approach is inspired by traditional American quilting (and looks similar to sashiko stitches!)

​Landes will teach a basic quilt stitch, how to hold and use the needle, and how to hand-stitch a repair that’s both strong and visible. The goal is to give people a straightforward, practical way to fix their clothes while making the repair feel intentional.
