Slow Stitching Workshop

Slow Stitching Workshop

1:00 pm
4:00 pm

Slow Stitching is an engaging process that helps us slow down the fast-forward pace we often live in with an emphasis on sustainability and centeredness. It can include several types of hand sewing, embroidery, fabric collage, mending, and quilting. Students will learn about a variety of stitch techniques and patterns and can choose from a selection of project ideas to complete a small piece in class. It can be functional (visible mending and repairing), decorative (as seen in Kantha quilts) or purely fun and creative. Many world stitching traditions have informed this movement, and each individual stitcher will bring their own unique vision and sensibility to it.

All tools and materials will be provided.
