In Stitches

Nestled in the heart of beautiful Taranaki, In Stitches has been a cherished haven for artists and crafters alike since its humble beginnings. Our journey began with a shared passion for all things creative, a love for the intricate artistry that patchwork and quilting can offer, and a desire to bring this joy to our vibrant community. Over the years, we've grown organically, expanding our repertoire to encompass painting, pottery, and clothing alterations. Each addition was born out of a deep-rooted appreciation for the art forms themselves and a recognition of the need for a creative space where budding artists could explore their talents. Walk through our doors today, and you'll find a warm, inviting atmosphere filled with the rich aroma of paints and fabrics, the soothing sounds of looms at work, and the gentle hum of pottery wheels spinning away. Our well-stocked shelves are brimming with high-quality art and craft supplies, sourced from both local and international creators, ensuring our patrons have access to a wide variety of materials to fuel their artistic pursuits. We're more than just a store; we're a community. We host weekly painting classes for beginners and advanced artists alike, offering guidance and encouragement in equal measure. Our quilting and patchwork sessions are a treasure trove of knowledge and camaraderie, with seasoned sewers eager to share their tips and tricks. For those with a knack for pottery, our pottery classes provide an opportunity to shape and mold their very own creations under the watchful eye of our experienced instructors. In Stitches is also home to a talented team of clothing alteration specialists. Whether it's a treasured family heirloom or a beloved purchase that no longer fits quite right, we take immense pride in breathing new life into cherished garments, ensuring they continue to serve their purpose for years to come. As we look ahead, our vision remains steadfast: to inspire creativity, foster community, and provide a space where the beauty of art and craft can be celebrated and shared. So, whether you're an experienced artist seeking new challenges or a budding creator eager to explore your talents, we warmly invite you to become part of our In Stitches family. Together, let's continue to create, learn, and grow in the heart of Taranaki.
