Beginning
I’ve been fascinated with creativity, arts and crafts from
an early age. Whenever I had a chance, I’d watch artisans busy with their work
such as knitting, embroidery, crochet, sewing, jewelry making, painting and
even wood work. I was adept at using a sewing machine by the time I was eight,
stitching dresses for dolls and nurturing my passion.
Parents
My family, realizing the potential I displayed and my
passion for all things creative, encouraged me to pursue fashion designing.
Work
I eventually started designing clothes for boutiques and
even hospitals. In addition to this, I’d always kept myself busy knitting
shawls, sweaters, caps and even stitching clothes for friends and family. I’ve
also designed jewelry at Bead Palace.
Employment
I’ve worked at a leading school in Dubai UAE, where I headed
the Art and Craft department for over 25 years. Throughout my tenure, I’d
taught knitting, sewing, stitching, crochet and painting, to mention a few
areas, and even taught other subjects alongside these realizing my natural
ability to impart learning and knowledge to children in primary and secondary
stages of the school.
Dubai Arts Center
I’ve been associated with the center for approximately 20
years. At the center, I teach knitting and crochet to adults, and also teach
children how to make soft toys and embroidery.
