Intuitive Embroidery - Week 1

Intuitive Embroidery, Week 1 - Learning and unlearning traditional stitches

Creative stitching for relaxation.

This relaxed stitching session invites you to slow down and connect with your creativity while enjoying guided meditative free-stitching without a pattern.

“Learn the rules; then you can break them”.  In this session, we will introduce some traditional embroidery stitches and then go off-book to experiment on our own, let the needle and thread guide us, and play with texture and colour. 

No experience necessary; just bring curiosity and willing hands.

All materials are provided. If you’d like, you may bring fabric and a thimble if you already have them. You do not need to buy anything new for this workshop.

Led by textile artist and art therapist Lucinda Walker.

We're the Portobello Art Therapy Collective – a group of art therapists who believe creativity can support better health. We run inclusive creative wellbeing workshops and art therapy sessions. Everyone is welcome; no art experience needed.
