Stitching Connection is a series of 3 online workshops taking place monthly and based around my latest book, Resilient Stitch: Wellbeing and Connection in Textile Art. Each session will focus on a particular theme helping you to develop a personal stitching practice. During the course you will make a series of stitched samples that can lead to a more resolved piece of work. I have been working on a daily textile practice, my Stitch Journal, since 2013 and will share some of my experience of this.

The class size is small and you are encouraged to share the development of your work with others during the sessions. A private Facebook group is available between sessions and after the project ends.

This is one ticket for 3 online stitch workshops. The sessions will take place on Zoom
and a link will be sent via email the day before the first session. A simple materials list will be emailed on booking.

Session dates:

February 13th, March 13th, April 17th 6-8pm GMT (UK time)

Previous participants said:

'My passion for stitching has been truly ignited, deepened and developed...Personal and powerful textile and stitch connections have been, and continue to be revealed as a direct result of the inclusive and immensely encouraging and enabling group dynamic which Claire creates within each session.'

'I appreciated your workshop and it has impacted me in a deep way. I have a new confidence in my own simple stitches.'

'I know that being able to participate in it has informed my practice and shaped my thinking about why and how I am making my stitches. I valued the time we all spent together stitching, talking and sharing ideas.'

'I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful thought provoking course. Each session provided me with ideas to bring and add to my stitching practice. Allowing me to take these vague ideas I have been playing with and expand on them without any pressure to actually produce an end product.'
