Introduction to Slow Stitching

slow sticted tapestry

Beginner-friendly workshop designed for anyone who wants to explore the calming, mindful practice of slow stitching.

No experience is necessary—if you can do a running stitch, you’re all set! This gentle introduction will guide you through the process of creating a simple piece of stitched art. There are no rules, no pressure, and no patterns to follow—just the joy of stitching at your own pace.

The sessions take place monthly, The first Saturday morning of the month, from 10:30 am to 12.30 pm at The Pump Room.

All materials will be provided, but if you have a favourite needle, feel free to bring it along. Spaces are limited, so you’ll need to book your place in advance.

There will be a small charge of £5 for each session to cover the cost of materials, and we also ask that you support the Pump Room by purchasing a drink whilst you’re there. So, come along and enjoy a relaxing and creative session where stitching allows you to slow down and unwind.
