Learn about the Mindful Stitching (also known as Slow Stitching) Movement.  In this program you'll learn what mindful stitching is and create a mindful stitching project to take home with you.

All supplies will be provided but you're also welcome to bring scraps of fabric and other art elements with you.  We will provide fabric, buttons, ribbons, thread and needles.

Mindful stitching is a way of creating with your hands while focusing not on the end product, but the process of stitching itself.  It is connected with the traditional mindfulness practice of being present in the current moment and focusing on relaxing.  Any kind of handwork can be mindful but this session will focus on elements of sewing, quilting, and embroidery as the primary focus.  No experience with handwork or mindfulness is needed.  This is an appropriate program for a complete beginner.
