About

Lost in the Stitches A Day of Mindful Making in Historic Clunes
Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in the gentle rhythm of stitching within one of Clunes' most beautiful historic buildings.
Join us for a unique day of creativity, connection, and mindful making in the grand former State Bank of Clunes, an impressive 1870s building rich in character, history, and charm. Surrounded by soaring ceilings, period features, and the atmosphere of a bygone era, you'll enjoy the rare opportunity to spend a day sewing in truly inspiring surroundings.
Bring along your favourite sewing, quilting, knitting, crochet, embroidery, or handcraft project and settle into a peaceful space where you can create at your own pace. Share stories and laughter with fellow makers, gather inspiration from others, or simply lose yourself in the calming, meditative process of stitching.
In a world increasingly dominated by screens and constant distractions, sewing offers a chance to slow down, be present, and reconnect—with yourself, your creativity, and a community of like-minded people. Every stitch becomes an opportunity to relax, focus, and embrace a moment of quiet mindfulness.
