Stitch & Bitch
Hosted by Creative in Colchester
Details
Tuesday 18 September
7.30 - 9.30pm
Note This month we are at firstsite, Learning Studio B
For September we are teaming up with our golden neighbours firstsite, hosting a S&B with their associate artist Mandy Roberts.
Mandy has devised a domestic diva special!
We will be personalising and pimping traditional household utilitarian fabrics.
Please bring your own aprons, dusters and tea towels. You can grab some real gems from the local charity shops (or even pound land)
The usual needles, thread, buttons, tea, biscuits AND ELVIS will be provided.
We are charging just £1 for this session. (Helps pay for all the biccies) please just drop on in stitchers and bitchers.
Mandy is a local artist that explores the familiar everyday objects that make up the common fabric of our existence. She looks for ways they can be re-presented and question what we think we already know.

Join us to meet some local crafty ladies (and gentlemen) and have an evening of getting your stitch on.
Beginners to pros are welcome.
