The Society of Stitchers: The Future

Join The Society of Stitchers! SOS is the Department of Illumination‘s annual winter embroidery club led by artist Nella Casson, where we open up our magical studio for the community to gather and get creative. No experience required and all are welcome; kids, too!

The theme this year is THE FUTURE, and we’ll be working together to create a collaborative quilt exploring our hopes, ideas and tools to shape a softer future. We’ll also be hosting some guest speakers to spark our creativity!

DATES: January 26th to March 4th, 2026, Mondays & Wednesdays from 5-7 PM

Your registration fee includes 12 sessions, all supplies & instruction, snacks & tea, and all the good vibes you can handle! Come to as many or as few sessions as you’d like.

PRICE: $45 + HST = $50.85 (that’s just $4.23 per session!) If this price is a hardship for you, please pay what you can. If you would like to “pay it forward” for another participant to take part at a reduced cost, please indicate at time of payment.
