Create a Slow Stitched Vessel with Lou Nade
Wednesday 14 January 2026 from 10am to 4pm
In this relaxed one day workshop, you’ll learn the techniques and develop the skills required to create a unique slow stitched vessel using reclaimed textile waste. This slow, intentional and mindful workshop will encourage you to be present in the moment, focus simply on the process of making, and inspire you to expand your creativity while exploring materials in new ways.
This workshop is designed for anyone looking to delve into the freedom and relaxation of slow stitching, from absolute beginners to more experienced makers. Lou will guide you through the techniques of creating core pieces from textile waste, how to slowly stitch these pieces together, working to ‘build’ your vessel, while exploring different fabrics, yarns and threads.
All materials, embellishments and threads are supplied, including enough to take home and continue your work. Feel free to bring along anything from your own collection to include in your creation.
Due to the nature of sourcing reclaimed materials, components and resources for the workshops may vary to the images shown.
