Giant post of all my March events happening in Kitchener, Hamilton, and Toronto Ontario!
Lots on the go this month :)
I’m excited to join IRL Festival – teaching knit repair on Saturday March 8 at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery. Tickets are $25/PWYC for this two-hour session. Get them via irishreallifekw.ca !
Then it’s March Break and, fine, you aren’t invited but I’m helping out Mindful Makers (mindfulmakers.ca) with their day camp – giving a tour and some demonstrations of all the cool things we share at Kwartzlab Makerspace! You can come down to Kwartzlab any Tuesday evening for our open house, or check out our public events calendar to see what’s up, like ::::
March 19th is our monthly Repair Cafe and Mending Night at Kwartzlab (kwartzlab.ca). It’s free! We prefer that you sign up in advance via Eventbrite (kwartzlab.eventbrite.com), but clothing repair drop-ins are welcome (I know I’ll be there to help ya, so we won’t need to coordinate any special-skilled volunteers for textile things.)
March 22 is the Hamilton Fibre Forge (thefibreforge.ca)! This kicks off the fibre festival season for us, we look forward to seeing you :) either there orrrr the next weekend cuz ::::
Finally we’re closing out the month in Toronto with Knit City (knitsocial.ca) on March 27-29. This will be a big one! There are TONS of vendors in addition to talks and workshops, check their website for more info :)
But if you don’t want to brave that big-city fibre stuff, you can drop in at Kwartzlab’s monthly Be Gay Do Crafts event, March 28 & the last Saturday of every month. (kwartzlab.eventbrite.com)
This month I think they’re doing collages. I try not to think about collages since I stressed myself out big last time we made ‘em and I’m a little glad I’m missing out BUT I do hear lots of people find that collage art is fun and light and sweet and overall BGDC is a darling queer community space open to all ages go enjoy!!
