Slow Stitch Journals - September 20

$80.00

led by Malavika Rao

In this workshop, participants will create a handmade slow stitch journal, learning foundational hand-sewing techniques while practicing intuitive patchwork and fabric collage. We’ll bind the journals together in class and design personalized fabric covers, creating tactile objects meant to be returned to, added onto, and lived with over time.

Slow stitching is a fiber art practice grounded in attention, repetition, and radical slowness. In this session, we’ll emphasize process over perfection, approaching fiber as a contemplative, intuitive material rather than a means toward a polished end result. The journals we create can function as memory books, processing spaces, or sites for ongoing stitching, reflection, and experimentation.

All materials will be provided, including fabric scraps and sewing notions. Participants are welcome to bring their own scraps to incorporate into their journals. Everyone will leave the workshop with a bound journal to continue filling and stitching into over time. No prior sewing experience is necessary — this workshop is beginner-friendly and open to all.

Workshop Details:

  • Date: Sunday, September 20th

  • Time: 12pm - 3pm

  • Location: 850 N Virgil Ave, Los Angeles

  • Duration: 3 hours

  • Skill level: No sewing experience required - we'll teach you everything!
