SLOW Stitch Community

Mindful and contemplative stitching is a way to engage with the textile art within us in a creative and reflective way. I have been practising in Zen for 20 years and teaching/ working in textiles for over 40. I've always foung that thread and fabric stitched compemplatively bring me peace and joy , and it is my passion to share this with you . Curently I'm teaching a 9 month SLOW stitch course i

n Whitstable Kent, but would love to teach else where too .Please get in touch if you are interested in coing to a course/retreat or hosting one . I teach some contemplation and mindful ways of being alongside the techniques and style of this movement in textiles. We cover reflective sketch book keeping, creating a stitch journal, a large variety of stitch techniques, colour palettes, design essentials, Japanese boro, natural dyeing and staining, ending up with a period to design, develop and create a piece of personal art. Beginners are most welcome as well as those with experience of making textiles at what ever level. During the courses and day retreats there will be opportunities to work in silence as well as time for socialising over tea and cake !
