Soul Stitching

Sewing therapeutically is a great way to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. The slow rhythmic movement of the needle through fabric is soothing to the nerves and allows time for contemplation and calm. In my monthly workshops we will be using simple sewing and embroidery stitches to create organic pieces that are unique to each individual.

You will need embroidery scissors, plain fabric, needles and threads. There will be a selection of embroidery threads and tools for sale at discount.

Biography in Stitch

Creating your personal story visually and metaphorically in art can be enlightening as you reflect on the events, milestones and patterns that have shaped your life so far. This ten week therapeutic course uses memory, feeling, and impressions to create a stitched biography that is unique to you. You will need paper or a blank note book for taking written and visual notes. You will also need embroidery scissors, plain fabrics, needles and threads. There will be a selection of embroidery threads and tools for sale at discount.

Word Therapy This weekly course will explore ways to express yourself and find relief and healing through words with the use of journaling, poetry, memoir, story, and word collage. The content will inspire you creatively with the use of prompts, readings, and exercises. It will improve your creative writing skills, but the emphasis is on writing for personal growth. There will be time to discuss themes and share thoughts and impressions at the end of each session, though there is no obligation to do so.
