Create in Nature – Stitching Workshop

Create in Nature is a series of 4 workshops where you will be guided to explore your creativity and connection with nature. The benefits of both nature and being creative are well documented. In this series we combine both.

Held outdoors at our community garden, you will be encouraged to slow down and explore several (or just one) of the many ways we can observe and document what is around us through simple mark making techniques.

Each workshop is suitable for age 18+ and all abilities. We will adapt the workshop to suit levels of ability.

Part 4: Stitching – 8th July 2023
Botanical sketching in stitch.

In this workshop we bring in the medium of stitch to document nature and create a botanical inspired piece. You will learn several simple embroidery stitches that are ideal for creating your own botanical motifs, then experiment with creating your own piece.

We will also reflect on the previous Create in Nature workshops and how to bring in stitching as an added element to your visual diary/sketchbook.
