SLOW STITCHING: 10am-1pm March 7&8
Slow Stitching
Slow Stitching is a new way to celebrate the traditional art of hand stitching. It is inspired by other slow movements such as Slow Eating etc. This kind of needle work allows us to slow down and enjoy the process of stitching whether you want to make a finished product or not. It is for anyone from the beginner to the experienced stitcher. If you want to make a finished product you will learn different skills that enable you make wall hangings, a personal tool bag, small purse, mending patches or a fabric addition to your own artwork. All sorts of materials will be supplied but please feel free to bring any of your own special scraps. But you will need to bring some DMC embroidery thread ( available at Michaels), scissors and embroidery sewing needles. Please come to enjoy two days Slow Stitching.
Covid CDC Guidelines will be observed and ACGOW has a policy of mandatory mask wearing for all while inside the gallery.
