As part of a collaborative programme with the Design Museum, RESOLVE Collective, and an external producer, I delivered a series of workshops that used textiles and outdoor learning to nurture collective creativity among young people aged 14–18 from global majority backgrounds.

2025 was the fourth and final iteration of Ardagh Young Creatives, delivered by RESOLVE Collective on the theme of GRAFT. Working closely with the team, I co-designed the structure and workflow of the sessions to respond to the group’s abilities and interests, developing trust and a sense of ownership throughout. The textile-making process became a shared space for expression—where conversations naturally unfolded around personal stresses, climate anxiety, and the lived experience of growing up in London.

The resulting quiltwork reflect both the intimacy of these exchanges and the creative agency of the participants, offering a textured record of collaborative learning in practice.
