Creators and makers.... whether you work to commis

Creators and makers.... whether you work to commission, an established or emerging artist, or studying one of our courses, then the pressure to be creative can sometimes be overwhelming. ⁠
⁠
We recently caught up with fibre artist Ellie Beaven (@wholeclothstudio⁠) who provided us with a few tips on how to destress and trust the creative process.⁠
⁠
"The key to destressing for me is making time for experimentation and creative fabric play without the pressure of completing a finished piece. Whether it’s just ten minutes of freeform patchwork piecing, trying out new stitches, fabric manipulations or designs. Whatever brings you most joy, make time for it."⁠
⁠
Wise words.... ⁠

“Stitching really is central to who I am. I need this creative work to find balance and happiness in life!”⁠
⁠
Ellie Beaven @wholeclothstudio⁠
⁠
The art of slow stitching is deeply relaxing. With rhythmic qualities it has an intrinsic calming effect, promotes mindfulness, and restores the soul. One particular artist who knows all about this is Ellie Beavan.⁠
⁠
⁠
We had the absolute pleasure of talking to Ellie about her work, living and working on a catamaran, and the art of slow stitching at sea.⁠

@wholeclothstudio⁠ ⁠ After moving aboard a 44f

@wholeclothstudio⁠
⁠
After moving aboard a 44ft Catamaran in 2020, hand quilter, Ellie Beaven was forced to give up her sewing machine, swapping them for space saving, rudimentary tools. With only threads, scissors and needles at her disposal Ellie creates beautiful hand quilted pieces which embody the calmness of the sea.⁠
⁠
She told us⁠
⁠
"I was surprised to find that I actually love working with less and have found the process of exploring hand sewing techniques really enjoyable and creatively freeing. In this context working on a smaller scale also made more sense."⁠
⁠
Discover how to do more with less.⁠

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my last two years of st

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my last two years of study. It gave me structure during these crazy times of Covid. Although I live in Australia the distance learning was supported through a private Facebook group set up by the school. In the first 6 months, they had regular question and answer sessions which were conducted by Gail. These meetings are invaluable when doing long distance learning as it engages you with other students and lessens the feeling of isolation. I am looking forward to continuing my journey and expanding my skills with the School of Stitch.⁠
⁠
A big thank you to the School of Stitched Textiles for offering an excellent range of courses."⁠
