Slow Stitching: Inciting Joy


Let the contemplative act of slow stitching bring joy into your life on weekly basis.


More details

This course will begin with 12 blank squares of cotton. Each week participants stitch on a square and will learn beginner embroidery techniques including outline stitches, needle painting, knots and weaving stitches, as well as embellishment techniques such as stumpwork, cut work and flower pounding. Students will be invited to bring in their own cloth mementos and other materials to incorporate into the work. The class will explore methods for bringing these 12 works together into one piece or a body of work. Ross Gay’s “Inciting Joy” will be used as inspiration and point of departure for the stitching process. Students will listen to this text while stitching and let the intuitive response of the words inform the work. Each week will also include a writing prompt to expand each artist’s exploration of the relationship between their handwork and the text. No previous stitching experience required.
