Slow Stitch textile sessions
|
We are currently undergoing refurbishment of our workshop space at Craft in the Bay so plan to re-start the Slow Stitch sessions in late Feb/early March. We'll share the info with our audiences as it's confirmed.
In association with Disability Arts Cymru, these two hour (11am-1pm) sessions focus on the relaxing and therapeutic nature of sewing, so no experience is necessary to join the group. A relaxing two hour session creating simple textile designs with artist Gail Howard. All materials are provided. These sessions focus on the relaxing and therapeutic nature of sewing, so no experience is necessary to join the group. You can come to as many sessions as you like but only book sessions you are able to make, as we want as many as possible to be able to benefit from these sessions. Gail will show you how to create items such as a simple needle case, bag or tea cosy inspired by the fascinating archive collection of items held at St. Fagan's Museum of Welsh Life. A free workshop supported by the Arts Council of Wales as part of the Makers Guild Wales commitment to supporting wellbeing through craft. |
