Slow stitching is the practice of hand sewing as part of a creative practice. The sewing can be mending, working on a garment or quilt, or creating a piece of art. 

Hand sewing provides time away from our fast-paced world and to keep our hands busy. It is sometimes referred to as Meditative Stitching or Mindful Stitching. 

During the workshop we will demonstrate slow stitching, and you will have the opportunity to practice the technique with guidance. You will then be able to continue with your project at home.   

This type of stitching is accessible to anyone. All you need is some fabric, thread and a needle to get started. It’s a great way to cut up old clothes and repurpose them for something else.  

The cost of the workshop is £40.00 

Everything you need for the workshop will be provided including tea and delicious home baked cake.
