Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Julia from Freddie’s Fibre Friends to lead a Christmas-themed felt workshop. The session brought together creativity, calm, and festive cheer, the perfect way to embrace the season.
Julia’s journey with fibre crafts began more than four years ago, when she was working as a support worker providing one-to-one care. She quickly discovered the incredible benefits that felt crafts can bring: relaxation, sensory stimulation, and a joyful outlet for self-expression.
Since then, she has shared her workshops with care homes and schools, whilst also running sessions from her own home, where alpacas and sheep provide the very fibres that inspire her work.
Our group gathered to explore soft textures and calming techniques, creating festive pieces that sparked imagination and connection. With fibres in hand, we slowed down, enjoyed the process, and celebrated the simple joy of making together.
