Busy Hands Workshop Series

Slow Stitch Journal Workshop


A slow stitch journal is a meditative practice.  Stitches are random and free flow.  Using thread, odd bits of fabric, ribbon, beads, or anything that strikes your fancy you create a unique expression of yourself.  This is not just for experienced embroiderers.  Imperfection is part of the fun.   All who would like to spend an evening learning a new way to engage with embroidery are welcome.

Workshop Leader: Barb Hagarty

Barb Hagarty began to actively engage with the history of creating fiber through the practice of tatting.  From here she transitioned to working with other historical forms of fiber creation such nalbinding, drop spindle spinning and sprang.  Her goal is to share knowledge of ancient techniques of fiber creation and create contemporary interest in these ancient practices.
