My art intertwines artistic self-discovery, sustainability, and the meditative practice of hand stitching. Embracing the unhurried rhythm of my craft, I find solace and introspection in the deliberate act of slow stitching, allowing my thoughts to settle and reflect. My inspiration stems from discarded scraps and garment offcuts, which I transform into quilts and wall hangings. With meticulous attention, I piece together unconventional shapes, balancing positive and negative space to create harmonious compositions. Each shape is thoughtfully placed, resulting in a new visual arrangement that tells hidden narratives.
In addition to creating my own pieces, I love teaching others the art of slow stitch through in-person workshops. These workshops provide a space for participants to slow down, unwind, and immerse themselves in the joy of creating something beautiful with their own hands. Through my workshops, I extend an invitation for others to experience the same meditative calm and self-reflection. I encourage participants to embrace slowness, appreciate the beauty in discarded materials, and foster a mindful connection between their hands, mind, and creative spirit.
For those who prefer to learn from the comfort of their own homes, I offer a range of video tutorials, PDF downloads, and kits. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced stitcher looking to explore new techniques, my resources are designed to guide you on your creative journey.
Whichever learning method you choose, my goal is to inspire and empower you to embrace the art of slow stitch, discover the joy of mindful making, and find your own creative voice. Why not browse my selection and start your creative journey today?
