We are seeking to:
- enliven the value of traditional home arts and creative repurposing in our community,
- provide a welcoming gathering space for people from varied socio-economic backgrounds to learn, share, create and discover together,
- offer opportunities for under-earning local residents to increase their earning potential,
- provide financial support to local community benefit organizations, and
- initiate and nurture ongoing collaborative efforts between local manufacturers, creatives, downtown promoters and merchants
what makes The Bee special
Our “gathering with a purpose” tagline means we not only offer opportunities for people to get together to learn how to sew and craft, market and sell product; we’re making a conscious effort to help people discover and celebrate their own self worth and embrace the power of coming together for a common cause.
who can come to The Bee
New-bees, intermediate and advanced sewists, quilters, crafters, knitters, DIY divas and more find kinship in the hive. Participants can learn skills and/or share existing talents, gaining experience at their own pace thanks to a growing cadre of patient mentors. We learn from one another.
Join us on a casual basis, sign up for a class or two, or consider becoming part of the collective. We are currently a small group of sewists and crafters, meeting in a room at a local non-profit organization. If you have an interest in creating and/or learning with us, we’d love to have you.
