Seahorse Sewing School

Mentored Sewing Sessions with Sarah Seahorse

Join me for a relaxed, social sewing space where you can drop in, get creative, and problem-solve your next costume, fashion piece, garment, or headdress... Come and work on your projects in a chill environment with other crafters.

💡 Guidance on your project – Whether you're stuck on a tricky sewing step or need direction, I'll be there to help.
🧵 Social sewing – Learn alongside others in a friendly, supportive space.
⏳ 2.5-hour drop-in session – Come as you are, stay as long as you like.
🎛 BYO sewing machine, overlocker, and project – Or hire a sewing machine from me for a small fee.
🛠 No project? No worries! – If you're new to sewing, just come along, and I'll help you get started.

Basic sewing equipment will be provided, a box of scrap fabric, and plenty of encouragement!

Come stitch, create, and connect. ✂️✨

Price is based on a sliding scale, which you choose, based on your own income and how you value these sessions..

Facilitated by Sarah Seahorse who is an award-winning multi-disciplinary artist, costume designer, craftivist and community artist. She specializes in fashion, headwear, and wearable art that serves as a powerful commentary on social, environmental, and political issues. A self-described 'trash-troll', Sarah's commitment to sustainability is evident in her perpetual gleaning and repurposing of unwanted rubbish into works of art and beauty.

A firm believer in the transformative power of creative self-expression, Sarah aims to create inclusive spaces where people can engage in artistic activities outside of formal education. Her dedication to storytelling through recycled materials and wearable art reflects her belief in the potential of these mediums to express complex ideas and personal stories, particularly in collaborative or group contexts.

I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways on which we will gather, learn and create together.
