Mending & Resting Together
Slow down, pick up a needle, and give your beloved clothes a little love. This intimate full-day workshop weaves together the meditative practice of textile mending with restful silence, community, and time in nature.
Tasha Miller Griffith — textile educator, slow fashion advocate, and Flagstaff local — guides students through the fundamentals of patching and knit darning in a rhythm of teaching, shared silence, and unhurried practice. No experience necessary; just bring your mending pile and a willingness to linger. Materials for practice and mending will be available.
The day unfolds gently: we open with song and a grounding meditation, move through hands-on skill-building, share a meal and a walk on the farm, and settle into self-directed making time before a closing circle. There's space to work, to wander, to rest.
The day includes:
Patching techniques
Knit darning, with possible introduction to needle felting
Guided opening meditation and closing circle
Farm walk and communal lunch break (bring your own lunch)
Self-directed studio time with instructor available for consultation
Bring your mending, lunch, and wear comfortable clothes as we will be outside on a working farm. You are welcome to bring a journal and anything that helps you rest and create.

Your Instructor
Tasha's deep joy is in the intersection of craft with belonging to and caring for the natural world. She grew up in a family of makers and tinkerers, has been experimenting with threads and fabrics since she was very small, and is always trying to figure out what makes things work. In her classes, she strives to build a deep understanding of concepts through hands-on experimentation in a warm and inspiring environment. Tasha teaches nationally at folk schools and fiber arts events, and writes for magazines including Taproot and PLY. She also bakes sourdough bread, practices meditation, and loves meeting new materials.
