Leave your worries behind and immerse yourself in a relaxing evening of creativity and self-expression at one of the below workshops. I look forward to seeing you there.

Meet the Instructor

Hi, my name is Cristina Rago, a trans non-binary artist, designer, and workshop facilitator with a studio based in Wandsworth, London.

I run hand-stitching, painting, and craft workshops in London that focus on creative wellbeing and identity. I work with individuals to foster their creativity through mentorship, guidance, and practical tutorials.

Goals & Approaches

Workshop Goals

The goal of all workshops is to create a space for play and exploration in a lighthearted atmosphere. I want you to feel free to experiment and try new techniques with all provided materials. I look forward to working with you to nurture your creativity.

My approach

The aim is to lead with encouragement, promote joyful bonding experiences, and support animated conversations amongst attendees. I am always present to assist and help throughout the workshop, moving around to tables, and offering gentle advice if needed.
