About our instructor:

Mariko, Instagram @Mona_and_Zoe, started her love of fiber arts as a child sewing doll clothes on her mom’s vintage Singer sewing machine and learning to knit at her local yarn store. Her creative visible mending journey is in large part inspired and influenced by her Japanese father’s concept of Mottainai, which roughly translates to “what a waste.” It’s a phrase commonly used to express regret of throwing something away when it still holds value.

This program is made possible by the generous donors to the Cary Library Foundation and in partnership with the Munroe Center for the Arts and LexZeroWaste.

Registration for this event opens Monday, February 3 at 9:00 AM.
