Slow stitching is a mindfulness practice that is rooted in sustainability. The practice itself is a thoughtful and meditative one: it is mindfulness in action.
In this class, students will learn how to slow stitch using tiny fabric scraps and simple straight stitches. Through the process of stitching, students will be able to be present and clear their minds. By the end of the class, each student will have created a unique piece of stitched art that can be framed, glued to a favorite journal, or stitched onto a jacket or backpack.
SKILLS REQUIRED:
This is a beginner course. Creative people of all skills are welcome.
