This week-long course is part of our annual Fall Sacred Arts (FSA) Program, beginning on Sunday, October 18th and ending on Saturday, October 24th. Class takes place Monday morning through Friday morning, with additional programming on Sunday and Saturday.

Explore the art of stitching as a form of personal expression in this welcoming, hands-on workshop. Through simple hand stitches, guided experimentation, and reflective conversation, participants learn to listen to their materials and develop a visual language in thread. This is not an embroidery workshop; instead, stitches are used as a portal for creative play and exploration. Emphasis is placed on process, curiosity, and creative choices rather than perfection. Participants will leave with renewed artistic awareness and playful prompts to nourish creative growth in any medium.

What creative modalities are used in this course?

Sewing, Slow Stitching & Fiber Arts

What will class time be like?

In this course you will learn foundational hand stitching techniques through demonstration and guided practice. Through creative prompts explore stitch as expressive mark-making and create finished stitch art work.

Will I need to work outside of class?

Yes, participants wishing to create complex or ambitious projects should expect to spend additional time working outside of class.

Do I need experience to take this class?

No prior stitching experience is required, only a willingness to explore.

What do I need to bring to class?

Writing materials will be provided, however you are welcome to bring a personal journal.
