Ray Stitch

Islington

5 upcoming events

£150 to £580

Ray Stitch is in N1, and it is a place for making things with your hands. Think needle and thread, not paint and canvas. The programme leans towards hand embroidery and quilting, the slow, patient kind of craft where a few hours pass without you noticing. Teaching is the heart of it. Many sessions are taught workshops, some running over several days, so you can build a skill step by step. That suits beginners who want a proper start and stitchers who like a tutor to check their tension. The crowd tends to be curious and quietly focused. People come to learn a technique, meet others who care about the same stitch, and leave with more than they brought in.
