Join artist Rebekah Johnston for a 2-hour ‘mindful’ quilt-making workshop exploring the theme of home through textile art. Learn and practice different slow stitch techniques while making your own mini quilt that reflects your experiences of housing and what ‘home’ means to you. Rebekah’s work emphasizes the therapeutic and calming effects of the mindful act of stitching, resulting in pieces that offer both visual and emotional comfort.
Led by Dr Hannah Fairbrother University of Sheffield and textile artist Rebekah Johnston
