Knits & Myths

The histories of both crafting and storytelling are as ancient and interlaced as the bond between the words text and textile. During this evening we will be unraveling these ties and exploring the profound role that textiles have played in myths, uncovering themes of agency, resistance, and fate in both the physical and metaphysical realms. Come hear the tales of Arachne, Philomela, and Ariadne, as told by skilled storytellers who will not only bring these myths to life but also weave them together into new interpretations and unique tales that bridge the ancient and the modern. So are you a mythology enthusiast or a fibre nerd? (Or maybe both!) Then come to Knits and Myths, a special storytelling evening centered around mythology and textile crafts. Feel free to bring your current craft project and immerse yourself in the rhythm of the spoken words as they transport you into a multitude of alternate realms.
