Freedom to Make
Freedom to Make is our weekly yarn and textiles group. Facilitators Nessa and Maddie curate a blend of self-led sessions, alongside specific textiles skill building. Each session has community and collaboration at their core.
The group believes that crafting is a powerful tool for both improving wellbeing, and also making a powerful social statement.
WHERE?
Sessions take place in the Gym Room at the Kentish Town Health Centre.
WHEN?
The sessions run every Thursday, 14:30-16:00PM. Weekly sessions exist as hybrid between in-person and virtual Zoom sessions.
WHO?
This activity is for:
Registered patients at the James Wigg and Queens Crescent GP practices in Kentish Town.
People living in the borough of Camden.
People ages 18+
We do use sharp tools and sharp needles in this group, so people need to be able to follow instructions independently in order to keep themselves and the other group members safe.
