Make Your Own Healing Skirt Or Shirt

  • Moretonhampstead Development Trust Fore Street Newton Abbot, England, TQ13 8LL United Kingdom (map)

Join me to create your own ‘healing’ skirt or shirt. A 4 month winter journey of stitching past, present and future into being to emerge anew in the spring.

Using materials collected from meaningful clothing, artifacts, remnants, or simply new pieces that you love we will create a simple skirt or shirt.Some materials will be provided as well as a simple pattern (although please feel free to bring or make your own pattern)

For those wanting to make a garment from scratch some basic sewing skills are required.Or alternatively if you have no prior or limited sewing experience please bring a ready made skirt or shirt that you would like to use as a base for patching and stitching onto and embellishing. 

The first session will be planning and design, looking at materials and techniques as well as explore some of the traditional practices of connecting with our ancestors and place and getting a sense of what is needed for our personal creative journeys of ‘healing’, remembering or connection. One key element is how we bring the past and present forward into the future.

 The course will comprise of 4 half day in person tuition sessions (with the option to add another in another session if required) @GreenHill Arts Moretonhampstead.
