    Renowned British textile artists Cas Holmes and Deena Beverley, each well known for their richly textured, deeply evocative work in stitch, collaborate for the first time in this important and timely book.

    • Practical ways to continue with your textile art practice in the face of seismic life changes, finding creative opportunity in difficult situations.
    • How to use found objects, repurposed threads and personal items to create deep emotional resonance in your own work.
    Both authors have recent lived experience of having to navigate new paths through big life challenges, making this book particularly heartfelt. It truly demonstrates how even in the toughest times, creativity in textile art can keep you afloat.
