Crafting, Coffee and 🧶🪡🎨 Conversation!

Dolly, Rhinestones & Writing: A Country Dress up Craft Night

Break out the fringe, denim, boots, sparkle, or whatever makes you feel a little country-glam for a playful Dolly Parton-inspired evening of music, crafts, games, and creative writing. We’ll use themes from some of Dolly’s best-known songs as inspiration for lighthearted and meaningful writing prompts, add a little rhinestone craftiness, and have plenty of Dolly playing in the background. And because no Dolly night should be under-accessorized, everyone gets to choose a FREE piece of vintage costume jewelry to take home from my dad’s private collection. Dress-up is encouraged but absolutely not required. Come sparkly, country, colorful, over-the-top—or simply come as you are. Venmo $25 to @karenherzog123

Stitch & Sip

Bring your knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross-stitch, or any project you are working on.

Weave Your Own Ribs Style Foraging Basket (Berkeley)

**\*\*Register [here](https://forms.gle/khFPU5JZiwGxfKi5A), NOT on Meetup:** [https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule](https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule)[**](https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule**) ***Weaving With Nature*** During this workshop with artist Abeni Pierson, we’ll work with two natural materials that have been used across cultures for generations: gourds and pine needles. We’ll begin with an introduction to gourds: what they are, how they grow, and how they’ve been traditionally used for vessels, tools, and art. Before any weaving begins, we’ll scrub and clean our gourds together, connecting to the full process from raw material to finished piece. Participants will then learn the basics of pine needle weaving and how to use it to embellish and transform a gourd. Sat, Sept 12th 10am-4pm (with breaks) All registrations must be completed on our website [here](https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-baskets) **More Important Details** These programs are very popular and often fill up very quickly. We encourage you to register right away if you'd like to attend! If you are reading this, the class is not full. Space is updated daily. **About Fork In The Path** Fork In The Path offers transformational foraging experiences in California for the adventurous of all ages. You can check us out on Instagram [here](https://www.instagram.com/forkinthepath100//).

Stitchy Witchy: herchurch’s fiber arts club

Join us for an afternoon of working on your fiber projects. Knit, crochet, weaving, spinning, what have you! Rather than a class, this is intended to be a group of folks working on projects together, though of course we’ll help each other out! But there won’t be any formal instruction in our sessions. Please text Jennifer for help getting into Zoom or the herchurch building. Meetup is not a reliable platform for last minute messages! 415 425 9070 This circle meets on the second Sunday of each month from 1-2:30(ish) pm PST. We meet in person at herchurch, 678 Portola Dr in SF, and on Zoom. Please be vaccinated or masked and free of symptoms of illness when joining us in person. Please avoid the use of fragrance.
