Last week I facilitated two creative workshops for young people using threads and stitching at Artrageous Experience during my Threads of Solace exhibition.

Participants designed images to stitch a stamp to print an image during the first workshop and designed a picture to sew during the second. So much creativity was explored, learning how to sew and apply their new skill into creating an artwork.

These workshops encouraged the young participants to explore new possibilities of creating art, build resilience as they learnt to push beyond a tangled thread and enjoy benifits their wellbeing as they relaxed their minds while stitching threads.

Such a pleasure to welcome Bisma Bisma Asif MP to view my 'Threads of Solace' exhibition today at Gallery 4017 and Artrageous Experience . It was so lovely to talk through the meaningful story behind my work with Bisma along with my transition as a designer/ milliner to an emerging artist.

I am greatful for Bisma's support and that hope my 'Stitched Chaos' artwork is enjoyed by all who visit to her Sandgate office.
