Eco Crafters are a friendly inclusive social group that meets up a couple of times a month for making, sharing and learning together. All ages, diversities and abilities are welcome.In this series you will learn how to create new fabrics from scraps and threads to use as patches for repairing textiles.Slow stitching is about being in the moment and now worrying about the outcome, just take it slow, one step at a time and see where your journey takes you. You're bound to be surprised by your final creation.No sewing experience is needed. Sally Salmon, our artist tutor is hosting and will happily guide you through all you need to know to get started. “You don't need to be a stitcher or embroiderer, we use straight stitches that are easy to learn. You’ll find it's a fun and rewarding experience that is slightly addictive ", says Sally.We have fabrics, threads, haberdashery and tools here but do feel free to bring patterned cloth with you to share. If you’d prefer to bring your own craft project to work on, that’s fine too.2nd and 3rd Thursday of the month. 1.30-3pm To keep our activities accessible, this class is by suggested charitable donation of £5-10 per session.Refreshments provided.There are two steps up into the studio with hand rails and 12 steps downstairs to the facilities.A﻿lso from Eco Crafters, Mindful Dotty Art for Wellbeing,
