IG live chat for Making Zen with Kate Ward and Maria Theoharous
If you missed our live chat of Instagram this week, here is Kate Ward of Zen Stitching chatting to podcaster and textile artist Maria Theoharous @Maria aka Velosews
Maria's topic at the retreat is 'Using and reusing lace' and the workshop uses lace to make a simple eye mask.
Wait… What’s Making Zen?
I’m glad you asked! Making Zen is a 5-day online retreat for stitchers and crafters to help them learn new processes, improve technique, and get inspired through a wholistic approach that nurtures creativity. Not only does this retreat offer all of the above through presentations from incredible artists from different places and backgrounds, it also offers an excuse to slow down, practice mindfulness, and bring some zen into your life! Oh, and did I mention it’s free?
The retreat will cover lots of topics, including different methods of printing, visible mending, and bringing nature into your craft. My presentation will be on using and reusing lace with a very simple exercise to build your lace sewing skills.
