FALL RIVER, Mass. - TelAve -- The Bristol Black Collective, in partnership with Fall River Heritage State Park, invites the community to a Free Kwanzaa Sewing Workshop celebrating the principle of Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility). This hands-on, all-ages event will take place on Saturday, December 28, 2024, from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM at the Fall River Heritage State Park Visitor Center.

The workshop will be led by Carol Price, a skilled artisan, sewing/fiber arts instructor at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts and Director of the Big Business Network, who will guide participants in creating beautiful, Kwanzaa-inspired table runners.
