La creative mama

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ custom_padding=”||33px|||”]

…..I am Victoria Martinez Azaro and I want to tell you how I was able to transfer my creative fashion design background and turn it into the most amazing creative outlet that allowed me to find joy and excitement in the everyday stay home mama routine, giving me and my kids a constant fun and joyful environment to be in.

I wanted to be the perfect full time stay home mama. However, I found out that such thing doesn’t really exist and I found myself being overwhelmed and confused.

I wanted to be a fun and present mama. I wanted to be the kind of mama that my kids would remember as playing with them, creating fun new things with them and most importantly being really loving towards them.

The demands of the every day mama routine somehow created a mental fog and I couldn’t access my creative fun side any more. I am originally from Argentina and had worked in the Fashion industry in Buenos Aires, London and Auckland NZ until my first son was 2. I was used to the excitement, the networking and the surprises that my job had always brought into my life. However, when my first son was born I knew that I couldn’t carry on doing the type of work I had done until then and I started working as a fashion design lecturer in Auckland, New Zealand. By the time my son was 2 years old my husband was offered a three years posting in Hong Kong so we packed up, I quit my job and that was the start of me being a full time mama for the following ten years. I loved our time in Hong Kong and it was where our second son was born, however I found myself living in an expat compound surrounded by people that I didn’t know and I had a very hard time feeling any kind of belonging to anything while I was there. The demands of two young boys combined with being uprooted once again from my familiar environment and a husband that worked very long hours took a toll on me and without really noticing it I became bored with my life and I became a boring mama. It wasn’t easy because having always been a creative person, my identity was linked to creativity.  Becoming a mama somehow changed that important part of me and created an identity crisis that was affecting me, my relationship with my kids and our family life…

Working with Victoria has been a pleasure! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in what she does, but she has a lovely way to encourage you to try new things you never knew you could do. Her explanations are super clear and I have thoroughly enjoyed this learning experience.

This course came into my life when I needed it the most and opened up my curiosity for creative work and self-exploration through the use of textiles, fabrics and natural dyes. Each piece I make tells a story and gives me the chance to project my voice. It is a transformational experience that does not have an end. These are skills for life that support me whenever I have the need to express myself. It has meant more than just beautifully crafted projects made by a community of strong women, but rather a platform to gain skills and feel empowered to look into my personal experiences and memories and turn them into something tangible to share with my community, family and treasure them for the future. Victoria’s amazing talent and huge knowledge of fabrics and techniques are invaluable. Her bubbly, caring and positive personality is inspiring and encouraging to continue exploring, learning and creating.

Working with Victoria has been great. I have learnt so much about different fabrics, sewing techniques and natural dyeing techniques which has created a vehicle to express myself. The get togethers are full of laughter and Victoria has the ability to pass on knowledge in such a fun way that you learn a lot without even knowing that you are learning!
