SUMMARY:Mindful Stitching
DESCRIPTION:\nMindful Stitching\n\n\n\nWednesday, August 7th 6-8pm @ MoA\n\n\n\nCost $35 \n\n\n\nby Kimberly Lovett Noel\n\n\n\nArt is the essence of awareness \n\n\n\n-John O’Donohue\n\n\n\nMaking marks with needle and thread, focusing on the color, shape, line and pattern of the stitches can be a mindful experience. The practice of mindful stitching can become a space for calm spontaneous creativity. Making intuitive aesthetic choices gives voice to your inner creative self that can quiet mental chatter. In this workshop the first aesthetic choice will be to pick a vintage linen that resonates with you and inspires ideas. The goal of this workshop is not to walk away with a recipe for a finished work of embroidery, but to gain the tools for  mindful mark making that celebrates the creative process.\n\n\n\nYou will explore a variety of straightforward embroidery techniques and experiment with thinking protocols to tap into your creative self. We will work in community to explore the current exhibition Contemporary Art of the West and to gather inspiration for our own stitching ideas.  All levels of stitching ability are celebrated and welcome, no experience is needed, regardless if you are a seasoned embroiderer or just beginning, this workshop will offer resources to practice mindful art making.\n\n\n\nBasic stitching materials, tools and vintage linens will be provided.  Please bring a sketchbook, and personal sewing tools if you prefer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-e2c807e{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 calc(50% - var(--stk-column-gap,0px) * 1 / 2 ) !important}}\nInstructor: Kimberly Lovett Noel\n\n\n\n\n@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-95078c3{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 calc(50% - var(--stk-column-gap,0px) * 1 / 2 ) !important}}\nBio: Kimberly Lovett Noel is an artist based in Fort Collins who specializes in embroidery and mixed media assemblage work.
