Mindful, creative time for you
Only basic skill, of threading a needle and simple running stitch, is needed. Materials will be provided. Fabric scraps and reclaimed fabric like denim, cotton and linen will be used along with plant dyed silks. If you like you are welcome to bring your own thread, needles and scrap fabric.
You will be introduced to the joy of slow, simple repetitive stitches with no pressure to create anything in particular.
Once you have created a small piece (approx 10x10cm) it can be enjoyed as is, contemplated, or transformed into a little card or pouch.
Woven through the course there will be an introduction to processes that support slowing down, grounding and connecting with yourself. This will be introduced through the stitching and creative experience.
You are welcome to engage with this as much or as little as you like.
Course led by Kathy Ross, experienced Art Psychotherapist, EMDR Therapist and textile artist.
