workshop details: in this workshop, you’ll learn the art of sashiko stitching—a traditional japanese technique used for both repair and decorative embellishment. led by tamara, the face behind smallwood studios, this session will guide you through the process of transforming your denim, cotton, or linen piece (any non-stretch woven fabric) with beautiful hand-stitching.

each participant will receive a take-home kit with everything needed to continue stitching after class, including:

• a properly sized needle
• your choice of sashiko thread color
• precision snips (scissors)
• fabric scraps from rifle paper co. and solid fabrics for patching
• fusible interfacing for reinforcement

during the workshop, you’ll have access to sashiko stencils, thimbles, chalk pencils, and washable pens to design your stitches. tamara will teach the foundational techniques, then provide one-on-one guidance to help bring your project to life. an ironing station will be available for those incorporating interfacing.

whether you're looking to mend a beloved garment or add unique stitched details, this workshop is a perfect way to slow down, stitch with intention, and create something meaningful.

sex talk shows how opening up discussions on bodies, sexuality and pleasure can lead to much, much better sex and self-esteem, by the eminent french feminist pornographer olympe de ge and feminist writer stephanie estournet.

sex talk has a clear mission – breaking the taboo of taboos – by opening up the discussion of sex and desire in a clear, engaging and motivational way. the book takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery through nine chapters, discussing everything from self-stimulation, exploring sexual orientation, communicating wants and desires with a partner, staying safe online when sexting, exploring erotica and porn and creating private content – but at the core is the pervading importance of owning your sexual self.

shaking the gates of hell: a search for family and truth is a deeply personal and powerful account of reckoning with silence, faith, and the legacy of the civil rights movement. growing up in alabama, journalist john archibald reflects on his father’s quiet pulpit during a time of southern unrest and racial injustice. why didn’t his father, a methodist minister, speak out more forcefully against the wrongs surrounding them?

this affecting memoir explores the weight of inherited silence, the cost of complicity, and the journey toward truth and accountability—both personal and collective.
