What's On in Bayonne

Join us for an afternoon of gentle movement, slow making, and meaningful connection. Make & Take: Each participant receives a needle + embroidery hoop to keep. All materials provided. Complimentary charcuterie prepared by La Branche included. Tea + coffee available for purchase. We'll begin with accessible chair yoga led by Lucy of Imagine Yoga, designed to ground the body and calm the nervous system. Lucy's teaching centers on inclusivity, and meeting each body exactly where it is. Her approach removes the pressure often associated with yoga and instead invites participants into softness, breath awareness, and steady grounding. With a focus on accessibility and care, Lucy creates spaces where movement feels welcoming, adaptable, and supportive for all levels, including those new to yoga or returning after time away. From there, Amber of Hi Goose Studio will guide participants through mindful stitching, blending simple embroidery techniques with an intentional, slow approach to creativity. As a textile artist and community-based creative, Amber's work centers on slowing down, reclaiming traditional handcraft, and creating welcoming spaces where art feels accessible to everyone, not just 'artists.' Her workshops are rooted in the belief that creativity is a tool for connection, healing, and shared experience. This gathering is an extension of that vision: art as ritual, art as rest, art as community. Whether you're brand new to embroidery, returning to craft, or simply craving a restorative afternoon, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are.
