Want to learn how to embroider? Stella is back at the Community House running a one day Embroidery Workshop in November.

In the workshop you will learn some simple stitching techniques and start work on a meditative mandala inspired embroidery artwork. You will gain the skills to be able to finish this project at home.

Your facilitator will be Stella Peg Carruthers, a textile craft artist and eco-lifestylist who sees crafts as being a way to affect positive change in the world as a creative gesture against apathy. 

Her practice is centered around sustainable materials re-use and slow creativity processes.

She is also interested in creating supportive community workshops that mirror the history of sewing in social spaces.  

DATE: Saturday 22 November 2025

TIME:  1.30pm-5.00pm

COST: $70 (materials included)

PLACE: Hataitai Community House, 112 Waipapa Road, Hataitai, Wellington City

Stella will supply your backing fabric and sewing needles and you will have access to her collection of embroidery floss and fibres for stitching.
