Leeds Libraries – Joanne Coates

“To see people’s faces when they see the work on it, it’s really lovely and it’s why I do what I do. That storytelling and that bringing things together. I help people to find that creative voice and give them the tools to unlock it, and that’s what’s really lovely. People might come back to embroidery or people might have an idea. We’ve been able to talk them through how they can bring that idea to life. They have it – I give them permission to play and explore their ideas.” – Hayley Mills-Styles
