ArtSpace: Zentangle Art: Next Steps (An Intermediate Level Course)

Wednesday, October 7, 6-8PM
Slow down and reconnect with your hands in this calming, creative workshop focused on mindful hand stitching. Using a curated selection of fabrics, you’ll design and create your own personal textile art piece (approximately 5×7 or 6×6), guided by simple yet beautiful stitching techniques inspired by traditions like Sashiko from Japan and Kantha from India.
This workshop is not about perfection—it’s about process. As you stitch, you’ll begin to notice a natural rhythm emerge, helping you relax, focus, and enjoy the act of making. Along the way, you’ll learn how to combine fabrics, layer textures, and use hand stitching both as decoration and as a form of repair and storytelling.
Your finished piece can be framed as textile art, incorporated into a larger project, or simply treasured as a reminder of time spent creating something by hand.
No prior sewing experience is needed, and all materials will be provided.
Disclaimer: once you learn this method, it can be highly addictive.
About the Instructor:
I’m Deepika Prakash, a lifelong maker, educator, and the founder of&nbsp;PatternReview.com, a global sewing community with over half a million members worldwide. For more than two decades, my work has centered on sharing knowledge, fostering connection, and creating welcoming spaces for people to learn and grow through making.

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.
