About this Event

Yvonne Fuchs founder of the widely followed SLOW STITCH COMMUNITY introduces her thoughts, practice tips and techniques about this art form so that you will find a new way to be relaxed, happy and creative in slow stitch whilst in nature.

We are working in the Stream Walk community garden in Whitstable that is a haven for wild life and full of inspiration with vegetables and flowers in abundance.

There is a covered outdoor studio waiting for you with good access.

We start the course in retreat style on 30th July 2025, 9.30-12.30 and then re connect on the 12th August 2025 same time, same place to develop our ideas . This gives you time to practice at home between sessions.

Suitable for beginners and those who want to deepen their practice.

We also welcome children of 10 and who would like to learn too. All young people need to have an adult with them on the course.

All SLOW stitch materials are provided, but please bring a small sketch book A5 and pencil/pencil crayons.

Lots of places to find lunch locally and sit on the beach if you want to continue your stitching or just relax, but bring water and a flask of tea! Our tea hut we hope will be open too.

You are welcome to bring a basic stitching kit of scissors, variety of threads and favourite fabric scraps if you already work with this practice.

We will look at all the basics of SLOW stitching and work stitching on reclaimed fabrics from the inspiration in nature.

You will make lots of samples that will be made into a small keepsake item to take home in the second session! I will demonstate and show you many ideas too.

Please join us and be part of the JOY.

I will lead time of quiet and reflection and a mindful walk in nature too.

Find out more and come for a break by the sea.
