About the event:
Each month a community member will volunteer to share a skill with others! Workshops will be 2 hours long (10 AM to 12 PM). Canmore Pride will provide the supplies (up to $75).
This month we will learn how to darn socks with Tori! Darning socks repairs holes by weaving new threads over the damaged area, strengthening surrounding weak spots. Key tools include a darning mushroom or egg, matching yarn, and a needle.
Coffee, tea, juice, and light pastries are provided.
I want to lead a future skill share workshop! How do I sign up?
