Sharing Stitch

The film, Sharing Stitch, continues my exploration of sharing skills and how skills are used today. The film builds on a conversation in, Thinking Stitch, musing on the cherry coloured twist used to stitch buttonholes in Beatrix Potter’s story The Tailor of Gloucester. As the majority of making textiles takes place in domestic settings behind closed doors, in this piece I am considering the meeting of two people who work on their textiles while travelling on public transport, meeting for the first time and sharing their passion.
