Slow Stitched Talismans: Acts of Gentle Dissent
12 November 2026 | Craft + Design Canberra
In quiet dissent against a world that values speed over stillness, this workshop invites you to explore hand stitching techniques to slowly shape and adorn a talisman made from natural fibres and filled with flowers. Slow stitched talismans honour care, imperfection and the power of handmade objects as vessels of memory and protection.
