Saturday Slow Stitch Sessions

(with Textile Artist Melinda Schwakhofer)

10:00am - 1:00pm

Saturday Slow Stitch is a gentle, loosely structured session to sit and stitch together. You will learn the basics of hand stitching and some new stitches, but the emphasis will be on letting your own creativity unfold.

Slow Stitch is a meditative and mindful practice where the process of the movement of needle and thread through fabric is as important, if not more so, than the goal of producing a finished piece of work.

Moretonhampstead-based Melinda is a self-taught artist whose artwork has been exhibited internationally and collected by the New York Public Library, The Muscogee Nation, the RAMM in Exeter, and the British Museum. Since 2016 Melinda has been hosting supportive spaces for others to explore and discover the simple joys of creativity as well as the deeply healing aspects of artmaking.

We meet once a month (upstairs) in Green Hill Arts in Moretonhampstead. Our next sessions are on:

• Saturday 17th May 2025

• Saturday 21st June 2025

• Saturday 19th July 2025

These sessions are suitable for beginning to advanced stitchers, and one to one tuition is offered as needed. Materials and refreshments are provided.

You can bring along an ongoing project or an idea, and Melinda will help you bring it to life. Or, we will have something to inspire us at each session, such as learning a new stitch, eco-dyeing, stitching on paper…and more.
