A Seasonal Scroll – Online Workshop
Friday 30 January 18:00pm - 20:15pm GMT
OR
Sunday 1 February 10:00am - 12:15pm GMT
This seasonal scroll class takes place in the quiet stretch after the end-of-year period. A time that, wherever you are in the world, often follows intensity, gathering, disruption, or busyness.
Rather than rushing forward, we’ll work with scrolls as a way to pause and reflect: adding to an existing scroll or beginning a new one that holds what has lingered from recent weeks.
The focus is on staying with the season a little longer - allowing another moment of stillness before any sense of transition or renewal. This is new year energy, without the pressure of big goals: slow making as a way to notice, accept, and gently integrate what has been.

Do I need previous experience with stitching?
No, this workshop is beginner friendly. You will learn simple hand stitching methods such as running stitch, whip stitch and patchwork, so you can create your own seasonal fabric scroll with confidence.
What materials will I need?
You will need natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, wool or silk, plus a base strip for your scroll. Sewing threads, thicker yarns or twine, needles and scissors will also be useful. The e-book will guide you through fabric preparation, including tea dyeing and rust dyeing options.
Can I join if the season is different where I live?
Yes, participants are encouraged to interpret the season wherever they are. You might use colours that reflect your own local landscape or think about your personal season of life. There is no right or wrong way to approach this slow stitching workshop.
Will the session be recorded?
Yes, the live workshop will be recorded. The recording link will be emailed to you within 48 hours so you can rewatch at your own pace. Attending live offers the best chance to connect and stitch together, but you will not miss out if you need to watch later.
