About

Join founder of YSM8, Poonam Dhuffer for a series of creative workshops exploring the relationship between mind, body and creativity.

Don't think, just stitch will be led embroidery artist, Nicole Chui and somatic coach, Poonam Dhuffer.

This workshop centres around relaxation through freestyle hand-stitching on print. We are going to be disrupting images with calming freestyle hand embroidery by stitching colourful threads directly on top of photo prints instead of traditional fabric. This session is also an insight into Nicole's methodology behind her art practice.

Come for a fun, unhinged and untraditional embroidery experience. A great way to be present and socialise with new people, whilst exploring a contemporary medium of art. Don’t think, just stitch, there’s really no pressure!
