Slow Stitch
with Sophie G Nixon

In the lead up to Earth Day 2023 the Art Space Collective brings you a month-long creative program Get Down to Earth. During the month we bring you a series of events and workshops that aim to drive energy, enthusiasm and commitment to investing in our planet.

We have been able to bring you this workshop at a special price thanks to The City of Stirling.

Slow slow stitching is a methodology of creating art with a needle and thread with a focus on the process, or journey instead of the destination. In this workshop designed for beginners, Sophie will equip you with the knowledge and techniques to create a unique patchwork wall hanging of your own. We will be using a curated selection of natural reclaimed fabrics, such as linen, wool, silk and hand-dyed cotton to create formal compositions that explore colour, shape, texture and repetition.
