About

In this gentle making space, we’ll gather a beautiful mix of fabric scraps, lace, ribbons, and rescued textiles, and transform them into soft, sculptural bowls using the calming, meditative art of slow hand-stitching.

You’ll be gently guided through layering and shaping techniques, before stitching your bowl together entirely by hand ~ building texture, rhythm, and story into every stitch. Expect simple stitch-repetition, organic embellishment, and mindful mark-making with thread.

Slow stitching isn’t optional here ~ it’s the foundation of the making. This workshop is designed to feel like a creative exhale ~ slow, grounding, tactile, and heartfelt. A place where hands stay busy, conversation flows softly, and overlooked scraps become something both beautiful and useful.

Whether you're new to hand-sewing or already love working with textiles, you’re welcome here. No experience needed, just a willingness to stitch slowly and enjoy the process.

What’s Included

  • A curated selection of fabric scraps, lace, ribbons, and trimmings
  • Needles, threads, and stitching tools (for use during the workshop)
  • Inspiration prompts and design guidance
  • All supplies needed to complete your bowl
  • A gentle, encouraging creative space

You'll Leave With

  • One slow-stitched textile bowl
  • Foundational skills in fabric layering, shaping, and hand construction
  • Inspiration and confidence to continue slow stitching at home
