Slow Stitching Club
Slow Stitching Club
Slow down, stitch by stitch.
The Slow Stitching Club invites you to slow down, reconnect with the creative process, and discover the calming rhythm and repetition of hand stitching.
Join us for a creative gathering where hand stitching meets textile exploration. Whether you are an experienced maker or simply curious about hand stitching, come experiment, share ideas, and learn new techniques.
With Oksana, explore a variety of hand stitching techniques and discover how simple stitches and fabric scraps can become works of textile art.
Each meeting will introduce a new technique, material, and source of inspiration. From textile traditions around the world like French embroidery, Italian trapunto, Indian Kantha, or the Japanese concept of Mottainai, learn how to find value in what might otherwise be discarded.
You’ll see how tiny fabric fragments can become collages, marks, lines, and drawings. Your explorations with Oksana will also include natural dyeing, eco printing, and other ways to transform and embellish cloth.
Some project ideas include:
Meditation scrolls, small textile books, or journals
Pouches and Japanese rice bags
Pin cushions and small frames textile art
Wall hangings
Creative mending and visible repairs
Fabric collages and stitched compositions
You are also welcome to bring a project and incorporate the techniques you'll explore along the way.
Beyond finished projects, you'll make time to exchange ideas, share discoveries, and celebrate what you are making. The Slow stitching club is an opportunity to connect with other makers in an atmosphere that encourages creativity and curiosity.
The Slow Stitching club starts on Friday, January 8th at 5:15, and will meet on the 2nd and 4th Friday, every month for 3 months.
