Happy New Year!
Are you ready to slow down, reconnect with your creative self, and embrace the beauty of imperfection?
Join me for an in person Mindful Stitching workshop at the Artists Rising Creativity Retreats in Glastonbury, CT, from June 8-13, 2025. Nestled in the serene setting of a historic inn built in 1740, this workshop offers the perfect environment to immerse yourself in a journey of artistic exploration and inner peace.
Discover the Art of Mindful Stitching
In this transformative workshop, I will guide you through the process of improvisational stitching on linen, inspired by the traditional Japanese art of Boro mending. Using simple running stitches, you’ll learn to create stunning, textured designs that celebrate the beauty of imperfection. This practice is not about achieving perfection but about embracing the process, letting go of plans and expectations, and finding joy in the act of creation.
What You’ll Learn
Through hands-on demonstrations and an engaging PowerPoint presentation, I will share my unique approach to slow stitching as a form of active meditation. You’ll explore:
- Simple Stitching Techniques: Master the running stitch and discover how to create intricate designs with ease.
- Color and Design: Learn to work with color and composition to create visually compelling pieces.
- Inspiration Everywhere: Discover how to find creative inspiration from the world around you.
- Mindfulness in Creativity: Experience the calming, meditative qualities of stitching and develop a deeper connection to your art.
Why You Should Join
This workshop is more than just a creative class; it’s an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and your artistic spirit. Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or a beginner, this mindful stitching process encourages you to explore your creativity in a relaxed, judgment-free space. You’ll leave with not only new skills but also a renewed sense of artistic freedom and inner calm and a beautiful piece of stitched linen.

The workshop takes place in a beautifully preserved inn dating back to 1740, providing a tranquil and inspiring backdrop for your creative retreat. Surrounded by the charm and history of Glastonbury, CT, you’ll find yourself immersed in an atmosphere that nurtures both art and mindfulness.
