Story and artwork from Silvija D.

Greetings everyone!

My name is Silvija. I work as a preschool teacher. At my work and in my life and free time, I often use my hands to make something. I can sew by hand and with machine, knit, crochet… People around me would say that I’m a crafty person. Me and my hands did hundreds of items for me or for somebody else.

My story: I draw since I was a child, I painted walls, Funny story recovering my sketchbook bc I was drawing at class. I draw since I have memory. I used to draw every place and every moment I even drew on the walls with crayons and colour pencils. Drawing has always been with me. I remember that one day – at school – I was drawing in my sketchbook during the class and my teacher saw me, so she took my sketchbook. I felt bad that moment, but I need to recover My Precious. That day, when I finished all my classes, I waited for my teacher to go somewhere so I could take my sketch. The teacher went to the bathroom, so I quickly and as silent, as I could, I went to the teacher’s desk, took my sketchbook and ran away as fast as possible. That was exciting and a little bit dangerous, but I recovered what I wanted.

Story and artwork from Mohammad Irshad

Drawing has been something I think of have enjoyed since the first day I picked up how to draw book when I was in Primary School. I really have been fascinated with the medium for a long time however I felt alone because in my family lineage most people entered the field of Engineering so I wasn’t able to relate to anyone.
