About the tutor
Siobhan Ridgley (@siobhan__lucia) is an embroidery and textile artist. Lunatype, the embroidery project of Ridgley has popped up over Auckland in the form of exhibitions, curatorship and workshops within Monster Valley Gallery via “Broidery Bitches”, public workshops in Final_final and Studio One Toi Tū. The continuous motion of embroidery can help us to slow down in our busy lives while still feeling productive, functioning as both a form of stress relief and creative expression. Ridgely hopes to help people to find hobbies involving embroidery that work as healthy coping mechanisms for mental illness.
