This session is a laid back, beginner friendly Introduction to Slow Stitching.

Slow stitching is a relaxing stitching practice which focuses on the PROCESS rather than perfection or a specific finished product. Yet, in my experience, results are beautiful and unique pieces of art that show the makers hand.

Slow Stitching can be a great way to reset, reduce stress or simply explore your own creativity.

We will explore the nature of slow stitching , several basic stitches, a bit about color, texture and how to select fabrics that enhance the meditative practice. Feel free to bring your favorite fabric scraps to work with. These are guidelines to get started - there are no rules or patterns.

Start where you are: Beginners …those with sewing/embroidery experience …those seeking relaxation and a fun way to “calm the chaos” and get grounded. All are welcome. Anyone can do this!
