Mindless Meander

A relaxing class of meditative slow stitching whilst learning about the health benefits of creativity. This class is all about enjoying the process and how to use textile therapy as a means of stress relief.

Bring a bag of scrap fabric and using a piece of wool blanket that will be provided, you’ll create a small improv quilt with big stitch hand quilting. Although it doesn’t need to have an end goal, finishing techniques will be demonstrated, including how to turn your quilt into a sculptural 3D wall hanging or a useful pouch.
