All of our instructions and Self Care Journals are created using a dyslexia-friendly font.

Because creativity should feel inviting, not overwhelming.
Because reading instructions shouldn’t be a barrier to taking part.
And because everyone deserves to feel comfortable, included, and supported when they sit down to create.

It’s a small design choice that makes a big difference 💛

Part of our commitment to inclusive, thoughtful creative wellbeing — always.

✨ It’s all coming together… ✨

The Self Care Squares project has reached that magical stage where individual pieces start to feel like one shared story. Seeing hundreds of community-created artworks brought together — stitched, printed, and prepared for display — has been incredibly moving.

What began as small moments of creativity, reflection, and care has grown into something so much bigger. Each square holds a feeling, a memory, a pause for self-care — and together they form a beautiful patchwork of our community.

📸 This photo is from our exhibition with Arc Centre in 2025 — and we’re so excited to be returning.

We’re now counting down to the Self Care Squares exhibition on Saturday 28th February, and we cannot wait to share it with you 💛

More details coming very soon…

Self Care Squares: Patchwork of Positivity Exhibition

We are SO excited to finally share something we’ve been working on for months… and we’d absolutely love you to come along 💚

Self Care Squares: Patchwork of Positivity is a community-created textile exhibition made up of hundreds of embroidered squares, stitched stories, and moments of self-care captured in thread.

Every single square represents someone showing up, taking a breath, and creating something meaningful — and together they’ve become something truly powerful.

Come and see the finished quilts, celebrate the community that made them, and soak up all the cosy creative goodness 🥹✨

Ahhh we are SO excited because we spent yesterday rigging the exhibition at and it’s finally starting to feel REAL! 😍✨

With the help of the absolutely fabulous Arc team (honestly, we couldn’t have done it without you 💚), we’ve been busy hanging, styling and bringing everything together ready for you to see.

And we genuinely cannot WAIT to share it with you at Arc Centre’s Saturday Art Club on Saturday 28th February 🎨🧵 11am-3pm.

It’s been such a special project and seeing it coming to life on the walls was a proper pinch-me moment.

Our Self Care Journals aren’t just about what you reflect on — but how it feels to use them.

That’s why they’re created using a dyslexia-friendly font, with gentle layouts and space to breathe.

No pressure.
No perfection.
Just creative self-care, designed with real people in mind.

This isn’t just about one project — it’s about creating a lasting legacy of creativity in Stockport and beyond.

From our first Thread Journal classes in lockdown to our current community patchwork projects, every workshop adds another stitch to the bigger picture: a culture of creative self-care that lasts.

Every class we run — from embroidery to journaling to watercolour — starts months in advance with ideas gathered from you.

We listen carefully to what our community asks for, test ideas, design patterns, write prompts, gather materials and tweak until it feels just right.

So when you walk into a Self Care Creatives workshop, you’re stepping into something that’s been co-created with care, love and intention.

Since March 2024, over 250 people have joined our funded Thread Journal workshops at Arc.
That’s 250 stories stitched into fabric — and countless cups of tea, chats, and moments of calm.

This project has been supported by The National Lottery Community Fund, which means we’ve been able to offer spaces to those who need it most.

If you’ve joined us — thank you. You’re part of something truly special.
