Regular Let’s Explore Sundays

January 1 2024 @ 10:00 AM - December 31 2024 @ 3:00 PM

Our regular Let’s Explore Days are held on the first Sunday of every month allowing members to participate in our exploration Sundays AND our usual monthly gathering (third Monday of the month) without crowding their calendars!

Contact us with any textile or mixed media techniques you’d like to explore! If you’d be willing to share your knowledge in a textile related activity, please let us know. It’s wonderful to have input from a diverse range of creatives.


What is a Let’s Explore day?

Our “Let’s Explore” days are just that…a day for members to play, explore and learn from each other. No one person is “the teacher”.  The main idea is to have the opportunity to spend time with like-minded people doing the “arty textile things” we all enjoy!

Each month we will have a main idea or theme to explore, however please feel free to bring whatever you want to work on if you prefer. Any financial Stitching and Beyond member is welcome to join KWC (see instructions below) and take part in our Sundays at no extra cost.
