With small group numbers, the experience encourages unhurried conversation, shared time and the simple pleasure of working with your hands.Participants are invited to stitch a word that resonates personally or to follow their intuition through pattern, texture and mark-making. There are no rules or expectations— this experience is about the meditative rhythm of stitching and the pleasure of slowing down together.Each guest will create a stitched fabric square to take home, ready to frame, gift or incorporate into a future artwork. All materials are provided & experience sewing is not necessary.After the workshop we will lunch at Harbourside Café in Hasitngs, offering further time to connect, reflect and enjoy the company of fellow makers. Lunch is at your own expense.This is a rare opportunity to spend time with an artist in her creative environment and to experience the grounding, mindful nature of slow craft.Estimated timings:9.30am - Floor talk in MPRG Foyer10am - Depart for Eleesa's studio in Hasitngs (Unit 1/260 Marine Parade, Hastings)10.30am - Morning tea & meet the studio collective artists11am - 12pm - Stitching workshop12.15pm - Lunch at Harbourside Cafe (Westernport Marina,17 Skinner St, Hastings)1.30pm - Depart Hasting to return to MPRG by 2pm--------------------------------Images: Held Memories (detail) 2025, pic credit Cassie Louise Creative.Examples of slow stitched fabric pieces - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/mornington/eleesa-howard-floor-talk-and-studio-workshop/100001984447450745 - **Event Categories**: Art, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 45, max: 45, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Mornington - **state**: VI - **country**: Australia - **location**: The Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery - **lat**: -38.2368281 - **long**: 145.0498814 - **full address**: The Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, 350 Dunns Road, Mornington, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Eleesa Howard: Floor talk & studio workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/64951c717909f10ee92cc1c3efca850c9b58cf86b7461c96e4e8740fb2e47a48-rimg-w1200-h800-dc90938b-gmir.jpg?v=1774102245 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Eleesa Howard: Floor talk & studio workshop being held? - **A:** Eleesa Howard: Floor talk & studio workshop takes place on Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 09:30 am to Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm at The Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, 350 Dunns Road, Mornington, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing Eleesa Howard: Floor talk & studio workshop? - **A:** Eleesa Howard: Floor talk & studio workshop is organized by Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
