The Art of Slow Stitching with Mindful Maker
Mirfield Community Centre, Water Royd Lane, Mirfield, WF14 9SG
Life skills and interests
Join us for this brand-new, gentle, beginner-friendly course that explores the calming and creative practice of hand quilting. With the help and support of the lovely Carolyn from Mindful Maker CIC, and Recovery College Volunteer, Ann, we’ll learn simple stitching techniques, use recycled fabrics to make a small, quilted item, and discover the rich heritage of Siddi quilting — a vibrant patchwork tradition rooted in African and Indian cultures.
No sewing experience is needed. Just bring curiosity, along with any fabric scraps or old clothing you’d like to repurpose, adding a personal and sustainable touch to our creations. This course offers a mindful space to slow down, connect with others, and celebrate creativity through shared stories and making.
