Embroidery
as Therapy
I am an occupational therapist carrying out a study
of the meaning of textile art to people living with
long-term illness and/or chronic pain. My colleagues
and I are interested in how involvement in textile
art helps people to cope with illness and we aim to
develop a better understanding of the creative process.
I received a considerable number of volunteers from
a previous request published in January 2001 but the
project is ongoing and I would like to welcome new
participants to the study. Readers can contact me
by e-mail or post, I will send further details about
the study.
