11. Founder’s Reflection

“This work continues to surprise me. What begins as a creative workshop becomes something much deeper — connection, healing, laughter, and empowerment.

Felt a F***y™ is not just a workshop.
It’s a space where taboo dissolves, bodies are reclaimed, and people reconnect with themselves — through creativity, humour, and unapologetic expression.

This year has shown me that this work is needed — and that it has the power to grow far beyond what I first imagined.”

Felt a F***y™
Felt a F***y is a unique, playful and empowering creative workshop where participants learn the craft of needle felting to create their own colourful vulv@ artwork.

Created and hosted by Brighton-based artist Stephanie Crechriou, this award-winning, unforgettable experience combines craft, humour, body positivity and conversation in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

During the session, participants use special felting needles and natural wool fibres to sculpt and design their own Vesica Pisces. The process is surprisingly satisfying, creative and accessible — no previous experience is needed.

Duration: approximately 90 minutes to 2 and a half hours
Location: Brighton & Hove (travel workshops available)

Felt a F***y is a trademarked creative experience celebrating anatomy, humour, creativity and connection.
