Simmering Impressions

Cristina's Backstrap Loom weaving of a crios belt on the colours of a Dublin dawn

Through intuitive and tactile exploration, SiiM nurtures a deeper emotional connection with textiles, transforming them from everyday objects into carriers of memory and meaning in communal relaxing gathering.

The act of weaving becomes a meditation, a rhythm that restores balance.
The quiet repetition of stitching reveals the beauty of imperfection and the intimacy of gesture.
Even the playful embroidery of a card can transform recycled paper into a keepsake that carries both memory and care.
