With the new year staring tomorrow, Fishers Park & Recreation has many programs ready for people to get together and learn new things.
Needle & Thread Society dates set
The Needle & Thread Society is returning in the New Year, and dates are set. Mark your calendars now for this free club’s meeting dates at the Maker Playground: Jan. 13, Feb. 10, March 10, April 14, May 12, June 9, July 14, Aug. 11, Sept. 15, Oct. 13, Nov. 10, and Dec. 8.
The Needle & Thread Society is for any person who practices or is interested in getting started with fiber art. Fiber art is anything that involves a stitch, thread, yarn, or a needle, like embroidery, knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, weaving, needle punch, and beyond. The goal of the Needle & Thread Society is to connect those of all backgrounds and skill levels who enjoy fiber art. Bring your current project along to socialize or share your wealth of knowledge with other makers.
This group is free to join for ages 13 and older. All sessions run from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month at the Fishers Maker Playground, 8100 E. 106th St., inside the Hub & Spoke building. Above-listed dates are subject to change at the discretion of the Fishers Parks staff.
Be sure to follow the Maker Playground on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates on programs, classes, and membership at the 15,000 square-foot public makerspace.
