My name is Cristina Rago, a trans non-binary artist and workshop facilitator based in Wandsworth, London. I lead creative workshops across mixed media practices including textiles, stitching, painting, drawing, collage, and experimental art-making for both adults and children.

My workshops are centred around play, curiosity, and creative confidence. I aim to create welcoming spaces where people can slow down, explore materials freely, and enjoy the process of making without pressure or perfectionism. Whether someone is completely new to art or returning to creativity after a long time, I guide sessions with encouragement, adaptability, and a gentle hands-on approach.

I regularly facilitate workshops in community, educational, and private settings, supporting a wide range of ages, abilities, and learning styles. I enjoy helping participants develop both technical skills and personal expression through accessible, engaging creative exercises.

Alongside teaching, my own artistic practice explores memory, identity, emotion, and self-reconstruction through textiles, painting, and layered mixed media processes. Stitching and assembling fragmented materials became a way of exploring repair, reflection, and transformation within my work.

At the heart of both my practice and facilitation is the belief that creativity can be connective, restorative, and deeply human.
