Join local textile artist Tamara Fiabane for a joyful, intergenerational stitching workshop celebrating the abundance, stories and traditions of the harvest season.

Anyone from the age 10 yrs old upwards in invited (teens must have a participating guardian with them) to come and sit together around the table, share stories and memories while creating a small piece of textile art using embroidery, needle felting and simple sewing techniques. No previous experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try!

Harvest time has traditionally been a time of gathering, sharing and celebrating what the land provides. Yet with supermarkets offering almost everything all year round, many of us lost the connection with seasonal food, local harvests and the people who grow and produce it.

This workshop reconnects us with those traditions away from technology. Older generations can share stories of sitting around a table with grandparents, knitting, sewing or making lace by candlelight, while younger generations discover these skills and stories for themselves.

For Tamara, stitching is much more than making something beautiful. For over ten years, she has created spaces where people connect through craft. A simple needle, thread and piece of fabric can cross language and generational barriers, allowing people to teach, learn and create together.

Come stitch, share, learn, laugh and create something beautiful together.
