Shifting Landscapes with Pippita

Saturday 26 Aug

10.30 am – 3.30 pm

In this workshop we will explore ‘landscape’ as a metaphor for our inner selves. The Earth’s landscape is constantly in flux from shifting tectonic plates to the effects of the elements. What affects our inner landscapes? There are changes brought on by loss or gain, or those that happen more slowly like ageing. What heals the Earth and what heals our hurts? We will explore these themes through stitch and create a centre piece or placemat for a table. This workshop is for all abilities.
