Thank you to Freddie Robins, artist and knitter, for leading an enchanting Little Bird talk that took us on a journey through her world of creativity and courage.
Challenging conventional views, Freddie Robins redefines knitting, debunking its perception as a passive and benign pursuit.
With warmth and a touch of whimsy, Freddie shared her ‘Once upon a time’ narrative, revealing her connection to wool, fabrics, and colour.
From entrepreneurial ventures to artistic pursuits, and even barn renovations in Essex, Freddie’s energy shines through every adventure.
Our takeaway from the talk was not to feel confined by any art form. Just as knitting can have edge, abstract art can be calming. Beauty comes when you remove the restraints and this is a concept we will carry into our work at Manasian&Co.
