Join textile artist Anne Ward for a day of mindful, collage stitching.

Bringing nothing more than a supermarket sized bag of small scraps of fabric, threads, trims and buttons/beads, sewers will create a personal creative fabric collage suitable for the front of a special greetings card or as a piece of textile art. Stitches will be taught and trims used to embellish.

This is intended to be a mindful process bringing people into the present moment with a project that is small enough to pick up and work on in a spare 5 minutes when the class is over. Try not to buy scraps of fabric, beg from friends if you don't sew, the result will be good.
