“Has there ever been a more crucial time for Big Love to be released into our world? Scott Stabile is one of my favourite love artists and activists. His voice in this vital new book is fresh and relevant ― his message urgent and universal. Scott is a force for love in a time when we are all desperate for healing. I look to Scott for wisdom and leadership and he has delivered both with Big Love. This book opened my heart and mind and I’m forever grateful.”― Glennon Doyle, author of #1 NYT bestseller Love Warrior and Founder of Momastery and Together Rising

Boro are a class of Japanese textiles that have been mended or patched together. The term is derived from Japanese boroboro, meaning something tattered or repaired. As hemp was more widely available in Japan than cotton, they were often woven together for warmth.

Tonight you will create your own special piece that can be used in a larger piece of sewn or mixed media art, stitched into a bag or onto a piece of clothing.

Please bring scissors and you are welcome to bring a variety of your own well loved, vintage/old fabrics and laces to use.
