Slow stitching club to meet
Gardiner Library hosts a Slow Stitching Club again beginning on Thursday May 13 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The club will meet weekly on Thursdays. Enjoy hand sewing as a form of meditation, relaxation and socialization. Bring a portable hand-sewing project and enjoy some “me” time while artfully stitching a favorite project. Hand-quilting, embroidery, crewel, linen, ribbon, even crochet! Due to COVID-19 registration is required by emailing Carolyn at cthorenz@rcls.org.
For directions or further information call 255-1255 or visit www.gardinerlibrary.org or the library’s Facebook page.
On track for a healthy back
The Gardiner Library will host a virtual class series entitled On Track for a Healthy Back on Monday May 17 and May 25 from 6: to 6:30 p.m. Each class costs $8. Pre-register by 3 p.m. on the day of the class by contacting Nicole Lane at nlane@rcls.org. Take one or both classes to experience different techniques, with some overlap. All registrants will receive a recording of the classes.
This 2 part series is focused on reducing back pain and maintaining mobility for all ages and abilities. Both classes will include gentle exercises, movement strategies, tips and inspiration. This compilation of exercises can be done as a daily routine in support of maintaining an agile, healthy back. By weaving the current science with embodiment techniques, these classes will give a whole-body approach to healthy movement and mobility.
