Mark making and mindfulness in stitch

Description

This day is all about learning to be present and enjoying the moment.

We will begin by exploring the lovely grounds at Dillington House and looking more closely at the environment around us. We will observe and gain inspiration from nature. Looking at the leaves which we have collected, we will explore marks, lines and patterns and develop your creative skills to make small experimental hand stitched pieces.

Fabrics and threads will be provided.
