Abeda is a self-taught textile artist who has been sewing clothes from a very young age. Both her parents were tailors and sewed clothes from home and at the factory when they first arrived in UK . From watching them sew, she developed an interest in creative sewing exploring different embroidery and needlepoint work, and learning how to create art work with decorative stitches and bead work.
She has been involved with different community projects creating textiles work with participants such as clothing items as well as canvas work using mixed media and textiles. She enjoys the creative and therapeutic process of working with textiles and encourages others to do so.
Bhajan works as a visual artist/artist educator and public artist. Working with people on creative projects is central part of her practice. Currently she is part of the Bow Artists community based in Thamesmead.
