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.
The workshop in retreat style is on the 12th August 2025 9.30-12.30 at steam walk community garden giving time for mindful walks and refection and happy stitching for eveybody !
Some participants will have done the another workshop on the 30th July and will join this group for making fun items as gifts or self expression .
Suitable for beginners and those who want to deepen their practice.
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 and that you can contuinue to work on . I will demonstate and show you many ideas too.
Please join us and be part of the JOY.
