Grief Stitching Basics

Learn slow stitching and textile processes that tend to grief and loss one stitch at a time.



  $79 (Afterpay available)

In this Grief Stitching basics workshop, I companion you through a gentle Grief Stitching process, and stitch alongside you. Together we explore the intersection of textiles (specifically slow stitching), creativity and grief. What is Grief Stitching? Grief Stitching is an intentional form of slow stitching and textiles, which is informal and free in its style. The cloth and needle know what to do: stretching & releasing thread, holding the tension, making knots, allowing loose ends. Learn an embodied, intuitive approach to stitching a body of work that incorporates life experiences of loss and longing. Incorporate embellishments such as buttons, sequins, objects from nature and sentimental fabric or items.
A gentle reminder: Focus group sessions are not a substitute for individual therapy sessions but are a supportive adjunct to your grief, healing, and mental health goals. These sessions are not designed for diagnosis or individual treatment of acute psychological distress or specific mental health conditions.
