Moving Stitchers is a local community arts project based in Worthing, West Sussex. The aim of the project is to share textiles skills with people of all ages and abilities. We are doing this through workshops and events. Workshops, adapted for the age, ability and interests of the participants, take place at the premises of any group or institution. We can come to you. We also participate in local arts based events e.g. Artists' Open Houses and Charity Fairs. We hope to participate in a wider range of local events in the coming year. We want to create connections between different groups of people through the enjoyment of working with textiles. You can contact us by logging onto the message board on this website (it's really simple), or texting 07931 151165.
