Learn to create layered zero-waste samples that use every tiny scrap of fabric and thread. Practise some simple hand-stitching techniques to add unique marks and decoration to your samples.

Karen Turner is a mixed media and textile artist in the UK and has been stitching, drawing, and painting for most of her life. She is best known for her intuitive daily stitching practice, a slow and mindful way of stitching by hand to observe and reflect on the passage of time. Much of her work focuses on the circular nature of time, and ways in which past and present co-exist in the form of memory. Her work has been featured in several publications and on websites including Colossal, MyModernMet and the School of Stitched Textiles.
