Slow stitching is a calm and relaxed explorative practice, there is no right or wrong. It is an opportunity to listen to your own inner creative voice and create pieces which are meaningful to you.
Guided by the Japanese philosophy of ‘Wabi-Sabi’ my slow stitching workshops are focused on encouraging participants to embrace slowness, process and beauty in imperfection. Repurposing cherished or unwanted, leftover and discarded textiles I invite participants to incorporate the stories and memories held within cloth to document important personal narratives and express their inner voice. The beautiful, tactile objects created then act as a tangible invitation for further conversation, discussion and remembrance.
No previous needlework experience is required to create beautiful slow stitched pieces. The process utilises very simple stitches such as running stitch, the only requirement is the ability to hold a needle.
