Planes Workshop

Stitching makes us feel good, it helps us focus, find calm and tranquillity whilst creating something beautiful. The ritual of stitching within a community of makers is a tale as old as time.

These components inspire me to create craft projects that invoke a sense of excitement and joy for all levels of expertise. Whether you are looking to learn a new skill or are returning to an old love, when we take time out to sew, wonderful things happen. Having an artistic outlet can help to slow your mind and feel more present; the perfect antidote to the ever accelerating speed with which we live our lives.

By focusing on handcrafts, we enhance our wellbeing and sense of self. Moving at a natural pace becomes an act of resistance against the fast-paced, always-connected world. When we make with awareness, we begin to see beyond ourselves, nurturing our need for community and encouraging us to reach out to others. In a climate of division and hostile politics, handcraft can return to its roots as a communal activity — a quiet space for connection, care, and shared purpose.
