Kantha Lavender Bag Wellness Class

Event Details

Come and enjoy a relaxing day of Kantha stitching; with just one basic stitch to learn the design possibilities are limitless. Based on a tree of life, or a Hare, the image, worked on white linen using DMC threads, leaves room for individual interpretation. Your kit will include everything you need to finish a soporific lavender bag.

Embroidery focusses on repetitive actions and a skill level that can always be improved upon, so we enter a ‘flow’ state – the perfect balance between skill and challenge. Within this flow textile crafts have been found to increase self-esteem, engagement with the wider world and positive living.

The repetitive movements employed in working basic Running Stitch employed in Kantha are meditative and relaxing, so switch off your brain for a day and enjoy a moment or two of calm.

This session is available via Cowshed Creative, with £75 including lunch paid up front and £25 paid on the day for you kit. Your kits include everything required to create this Kantha Hare, you may like to bring your own embroidery scissors.  

Tea, coffee and a two course lunch are included.
