In today’s fast-paced digital world, students often struggle with focus, stress, and self-regulation. This session explores how cross-stitch, a traditional fiber art, can be integrated into visual arts education as a mindfulness practice. By engaging in the repetitive, meditative process of stitching, students develop patience, concentration, and a sense of accomplishment while expressing creativity. Format: This interactive session will combine a short presentation with hands-on participation, allowing attendees to experience the calming effects of stitching firsthand. No prior sewing skills required! I look forward to sharing how this simple yet powerful craft can enrich both art education and student well-being.
