Through guided gatherings and workshops, participants will learn “lost arts” such as sewing, sausage making, leather crafting, and other home economics–based skills that once played an essential role in daily life. These arts—rooted in heritage, self-sufficiency, and community—are seeing a renewed interest today as people seek to preserve cultural traditions and practical knowledge. Lost Arts celebrates the craftsmanship, stories, and shared experiences behind these skills, ensuring they are passed on to future generations.
This month we will learn the skill of hand sewing from expert Cristabell West. She will lead a hands-on experience where we will learn how to thread a needle (and tie a knot), sew a basic hem (to use to repair a hem in a pair of pants or other item), learn how to sew on a button, and other helpful skills.
Each session will include a beverage and a snack.
All are welcome! Join us to learn some of the skills that your grandparents may have tried to teach you, but you were not paying the attention you maybe should have – or have just forgotten how to do. Bring a friend or two and check us out.

DepartureATX is a Texas-sized tribute band dedicated to the music of Journey and other favorite artists of the Arena Rock era.

Ramsey reached out to a friend, Ryan Holley (Lead Vocal), and DepartureATX was formed. Since its debut in 2015, the Austin TX-based band has gained a wide and loyal fan base and now regularly travels throughout the state, performing on large stages in big cities and iconic, smaller venues. DepartureATX puts on a high energy rock show, the way it was intended. Each member of the band holds an impressive musical resume, from being classically trained to opening for major talent. It’s no surprise then, that when performing Journey hits, DepartureATX is known for attention to detail, but also for adding individual elements of live musical intensity. Audiences will hear not only the best Journey tribute band, but also other favorite songs from the Arena Rock era’s biggest names to round off a truly unforgettable, live music experience.
