🧵 Slow Down, Stitch Up

A Free Community Celebration of Creativity, Connection & Craft

Treat yourself to a morning of creativity, connection, and a taste of slow living meets artful inspiration at this free community event.

‘Slow Down, Stitch Up’ is a relaxed, feel-good event featuring an inspiring lineup of artist talks, hands-on textile workshops, and delicious morning tea celebrating the joy of crafting to unite and connect communities.

You’ll meet award-winning Gold Coast contemporary textile artists Tal Fitzpatrick and Melissa Spratt, along with proud Kombumerri/ Nughi woman Kiara Levinge and local community leader Beverly Gordon.

Tal and Melissa will guide you through free creative workshops including finger knitting and collaborative textile-making. No experience is needed - just a willingness to slow down and enjoy the pleasure of making something with your own hands.

This special event also marks the finale of Threads of Belonging, a 12-week community residency where local women have been creating a collaborative artwork centred around place, connection and belonging.

We hope you can Join us!
