Meditative Hand-Stitching is a relaxing process to create small hand-stitched collages, using a variety of threads and fabric swatches. Meditative hand-stitching is not perfectionistic, may be artistic and can be done anywhere, anytime. Meditative hand-stitching is focused on the process rather than the end result. (Revilla, 2022)
Workshop Facilitators: Dr. Vincenne Revilla and Dr. Christal Edmunds, Professors, School of Education
Description: Come and join Vincenne and Christal as they bring this joyful, creative artform, enjoyed by thousands worldwide, to members of the Point Park University community.
This relaxing and informative presentation will define meditative hand-stitching, its history and benefits. Participants will receive supplies, see examples, learn basic stitches and how to get started in this meditative practice. Everyone will have an opportunity to stitch a unique project or two of their own!
Dr. Revilla and Dr. Edmunds will share their sabbatical experiences of meditative stitching at the Organic Arts Maker’s Group Farm in Exeter, England. https://www.organicarts.org.uk/projects/makersgroup/
