Slow Stitching- Saturday 24th of October

Slow Stitching- Saturday 24th of OctoberBe introduced to the mindful, mediative practise of slow stitching. We will explore Indian Kantha, Japanese Boro and tradition European embroidery stitches. We will discuss colour, form, and texture. You will be encouraged to take time to connect with your fabric, thread, and needle so together you can create beautiful abstract textile art that tells your story. You can use you own fabric, thread, needles and pins or I will supply you with a kit
