As long as she can remember, Elizabeth Duke has held a sewing needle in her hand! An accomplished sewist, Elizabeth is committed to inspiring and educating her students in the arts of hand/machine sewing and dyeing fabric. She is also passionate about her regular slow stitching practice. It provides a mindful, refreshing creative pause in her daily life. The meditative processes of first dyeing a cloth, then intentionally running a threaded needle through it, stitch by stitch, making her mark, centers her. It brings Elizabeth peace, joy and a sense of groundedness. Elizabeth teaches private sessions and group workshops in her home studio, as well as national and international retreats. She has been published in Quilting Arts Magazine, Uppercase Magazine and Uppercase's Encyclopedia of Inspiration "Quilted" Edition. Her “The Spirited Stitch” workshop was featured in the Summer 2019 issue of Where Women Create Mindful Studios. Elizabeth loves sharing her vast sewing, stitching and fiber knowledge with others and offering them opportunities to develop, expand and elevate their own slow stitching practices. |
