About this Event
Neuro Diverse Art Club
This is our monthly creative club, specifically for neuro diverse adults. Each month we will take on a different project, in a friendly and welcoming environment.
In our May session Suzanne Pinder will be leading the group. She will teach us about decorating and repairing fabric using the Japanese art of Sashiko.
We will learn
- About the embroidery technique Sashiko
- How it is used in Japan to decorate and repair fabric
- To use simple embroidery stitches to join layers of fabric
- To repair or decorate our own pieces
This is a quiet, calm and relaxing session where you will learn to make something beautiful.
No previous experience of embroidery is needed for this session.
What's included?
- All equipment and materials
- Light refreshments
Things to note
- If you would like more information about the space, please head to the website
- Each session is made up of a new group of participants, rather than a fixed group
