The act of hand-stitching can be very meditative. Join us for a creative and relaxing workshop in which participants will create a small, stitched piece. We will talk about different methods including traditional Japanese boro stitching which reflects a technique of reusing fabric and mending clothing, but has been elevated to a more decorative and sophisticated technique.

As we explore color and texture through stitching, we will focus on the running stitch and other basic stitches. Participants will be encouraged to “go green” and work with used fabric from clothing, vintage linens, and other places. Those who wish may bring their own fabric, but it is not necessary.

No experience is required and beginners are welcome. An assortment of embroidery thread, needles, and fabrics will be provided. Please bring a pair of scissors appropriate for cutting fabric and a bag for transporting items.
