Aitor Saraiba - Snippet Roll Workshop
We’re thrilled to welcome Aitor Saraiba to the historic Crafts Council, Islington – enjoy your workshop surrounded by stunning galleries and rooms that celebrate the very best of British craft. The Crafts Council building has championed creativity and craftsmanship for decades. From its elegant galleries to beautifully preserved rooms, every corner inspires exploration, experimentation, and creation – the perfect setting to experience Aitor’s unique approach to art.
Location: Crafts Council Islington
Date & Time : Wednesday, the 20th of May - 3:00 - 6:30 pm
Just a 3 minute walk from Angel Tube and 5-10 minutes from Loop in Camden Passage, the venue sits at the heart of Angel, surrounded by an array of fantastic cafés, shops, and restaurants.
In this Snippet Roll workshop, we’ll explore the quiet beauty of hand stitching as a slow, mindful practice. Using simple, intuitive stitches, sewing becomes a gentle way to pause, focus, and express yourself — one stitch at a time. Aitor is an incredibly inspiring teacher!
Each participant will work with a specially curated Snippet Roll kit, created exclusively for this workshop. Every kit is unique, with fabrics, threads, and small details personally selected from the artist’s studio, encouraging curiosity, play, and hands-on experimentation.
This workshop is not about perfection, but about enjoying the rhythm of stitching, trusting your hands, and giving creativity the space to unfold naturally. A calm, welcoming environment to slow down, connect, and make something meaningful through mindful making.
The kit includes:
- A snippet roll on a vintage-style wooden clip with hand-spun and hand-woven cotton and silk fabric.
- Yarn made in Spain in the 1970s at one of the most iconic factories, the now-defunct Fabra Coats.
- A selection of vintage fabrics and others printed with hand-block prints.
- A print featuring illustrations by Aitor Saraiba to inspire your creations.
- A cotton bag to store all your materials and take them wherever you go.
Photographs are for reference only. The kit you receive on the day may have slightly different materials and swatches but they are all beautiful!
