Hi everyone... here we are in JULY and ready for some gathering and fun as we share two days of fun !! Have a peek at our notes below...

Stitching and Textile Arts play is coming soon to the Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning when those who are keen to "MAKE" together in our two-day event in the Tett Rehearsal Hall, July 13th and 14th, 9:30-4:30 both days!!

Join me in bringing friends in Kingston and the area together for two days of making new art of their own and working on their projects all the while sharing some laughter and creativity. We love working on design play, colour on cloth, weaving, hand stitching, working to create garments, journals, collage work, and many other types of cloth art! I will share a collection of my latest and most favorite collections of artwork for inspiration.
And I love encouraging those who will join in, building on skills and creativity for our new students and friends... we will all enjoy sharing our tips for helping get your ideas underway!
COME PLAY!!! Bring a friend...
