Wild Type and Stitch Creative Evening

Wild Type and Stitch with Just Sewn Stories Thursday 22 May, 7pm - 9.30 Explore the landscape through words and stitch, using a typewriter and hand-cranked sewing machine or your own hand-stitch. Join Just Sewn Stories for a creative evening walk, gathering words from the land and typing them onto fabric with a mobile typewriter to develop an ephemeral, collective poem. We’ll return to the canopy to stitch our words, leaves and other findings into a small memento of the place and moment, as we watch the daylight turn to dusk. Just Sewn Stories is a socially engaged textile artist and workshop facilitator, exploring the threads of connection within communities while inspiring creativity and confidence. What a glorious season to revel in the sheer magic of nature! This workshop is one of three Creative Evening workshops which celebrate the long evenings and the beauty of the landscape under the slowly setting sun. The workshop takes place entirely outside, although there is cover for wet weather - please dress appropriately for the time of day and year, including sturdy footwear! Finally, if you’re likely to be hungry, bring something to eat during our pause after the walk. Please let us know your access requirements when you book your ticket.
