Monthly ‘StitchIN’ Magic
Cover - work in progress by @sarahbrown.art
What a lovely afternoon at our monthly StitchIN - Nine wonderful ladies gathered around the table, each immersed in their own unique creative project. There was stitching, conversation, inspiration, plenty of tea and coffee, and of course some delicious homemade sticky flapjacks to keep us fuelled.
One of my favourite things about these sessions is seeing how differently everyone interprets their ideas and watching beautiful work slowly evolve in such a warm, supportive and friendly atmosphere. Two hours always seem to fly by!
Thank you to everyone who joined me today and helped create such a creative, relaxed and inspiring space. I can’t wait to see how your projects develop next month.

A wonderful day in Liskeard with 13 fabulous ladies exploring the magic of gelli plate printing!
After spending the morning experimenting with colour, texture, layering and mark-making, we transformed our unique hand-printed papers into beautiful 3D birds and butterflies. What I love most is that every single creation was completely different — each one reflecting its maker’s personality, imagination and creative spirit.
There is something so joyful about taking a sheet of printed paper and watching it come to life as a colourful bird or butterfly. Thank you to everyone who came along, embraced the process and filled the room with creativity, laughter and inspiration.
Which bird would you choose to take home?

Yesterday’s workshop was full of colour, creativity and experimentation as 13 lovely ladies explored the magical world of gelli plate printing
Layers of paint, texture, botanical details and playful mark-making came together to create beautifully unique prints — each one completely different and full of personality. There’s something so joyful about the freedom of printing and not quite knowing what will emerge next!
This reel captures some of the experimental printing process… but the real transformation is still to come 👀
Next up: turning these prints into beautiful 3D birds and butterflies 🕊️🦋
Watch this space…

Exploring pattern, storytelling, and playful mark-making this week in our Folk Art Inspired Illustrative Workshop with another delightful group of Intern students at @oncoursesw
Using vintage book papers as our canvas, we created bold illustrative creatures, butterflies and whimsical shapes layered with intricate patterns and line work.
I love how every piece developed its own personality — expressive, joyful and completely unique. A wonderful reminder that creativity doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
