Archetypes & Intention
A Tarot-Informed Stitching Workshop
Saturday 15 March | WIP Space Studios, Wandsworth
Join me for a reflective, beginner-friendly embroidery workshop exploring tarot as a creative and symbolic prompt.
In this 2.5-hour session, each participant will pull a tarot card and use its imagery and archetypal themes as a starting point for reflection and intention-setting. This is not a predictive tarot reading — rather, we’ll use the cards as a visual language to spark journaling, conversation, and creative exploration.
Through guided prompts, you’ll consider:
What feels present in your life right now?
What is emerging?
What are you being invited to embody or release?
What intention would you like to carry forward this season?
These reflections will then be translated into stitched text, symbols, or abstract forms on fabric. You may choose to stitch a word, a phrase, an image, or respond through colour and texture.
The workshop centres slow making, shared conversation, and collective presence. No prior sewing or tarot experience is required — all materials are provided.
Optional: You may upgrade on the night to stitch onto a tote bag, creating a functional talisman to carry your intention forward.
This is a calm, inclusive space for reflection, creativity, and connection. Beginners and seasoned makers are equally welcome.
What’s Included
All materials: thread, embroidery floss, needles, scissors (for workshop use), and fabric.
You’ll take home the textile artwork you create.
What to Bring (Optional)
Scrap fabric, old clothing, yarn, string, or any materials you’d like to incorporate.
Nothing is required — everything you need will be provided.
