Description :

The speed of life in the 21st century can be overwhelming, but taking a calmer, more measured approach to the creative process can help you to find new joy in the experience of making...” from Slow Stitch - Mindful and Contemplative Textile Art by Claire Wellesley-Smith. Using a thoughtful process, we will learn and practice simple stitch as a way to engage our bodies and minds in a contemplative, creative practice. This session is open to new participants and those who have done the Introductory session - some new stitches, readings and embodiment techniques will be explored.

Instructor: Nora Ready, she/her, is a fibre artist living in Saanich, traditional territory of the Lekwungen and W SÁNEC people.

She is an active member of both the Fibre Art Network (FAN), a cooperative network of Western Canadian fibre artists, and the Vancouver Island Surface Design Association. Her work has been shown in contemporary textile art exhibits on the Island. She has a passion for community engagement, facilitation and sharing creative time and inspiration with others.
