On the Irregular with Java Bere
A podcast where I chat to women from all walks of life about their own unique, creative journey. How they got here, how their story has shaped their creative work, what they’ve learned, what has helped them and where they plan to go from here. It’s an irregular journey for so many of us and I am delighted to offer a platform to share these fascinating stories and wells of wisdom.

Conversation with Saima Kaur - Embroidery Artist
This week I’m chatting to Saima Kaur, an embroidery artist living in Hebden Bridge. Saima spent time at boarding school in India where she first learned how to embroider.
Little did she know that years later, embroidery would become her main channel of work and expression.
As Saima tells me her story, we touch on how our clothes can reflect our state of mind, being the parent of a child with autism and the value of community.
