The Art of the Handmade Stitch

The Art of the Handmade Stitch - creating an original small artwork that speaks to your ideas and stitching experiences as you learn together.

Sunday, February 4, 2024, 10 am to 5 pm in the Activity Room, Level One at the Tett Centre as we meet with friends and new students in the Fibreworks Kingston arts programming.

Join your Instructor, Bethany Garner for this Full Day, playful "stitch with abandon" artwork day of learning... Meet new friends and enjoy time with your own ideas and the sharing of others - learning to execute various stitch patterns and work on a beautiful small cloth art piece as you develop your own original designs. We will be working with 'Dorr Wool' cloth or bring the fabric of your choice, needles and threads that are yours or part of the cloth and threads collection of Instructor, Bethany. Enjoy the time together and opportunities for future art play as she shares her art and work with you to develop new skills,

Age 18+ | Beginner Friendly & Intermediate

While there is not a mandate for wearing masks at the Tett, we welcome students to wear the masks, arrange seating best for them in our classroom setting and focus on caring for themselves and others.
