Creativity brings balance, calm, and joy into our lives.Â
Hi! I'm Kristy Cairns
At Brigid Creative, I guide you in exploring how fibre arts—woven deeply into women’s histories—can help you build a meaningful creative practice that supports wellness and personal growth.
With more than two decades of experience in creative industries, I founded Brigid Creative to share my love for fibre arts and my belief in creativity’s power to support well-being. My background in strategic communications brought me insights into how creativity supports resilience and emotional health, which I now incorporate into my work with Brigid Creative. Here, I combine hands-on craft with mindful routines, encouraging you to weave balance, joy, and purpose into your daily life.
OUR STORY.
Brigid Creative emerged from a passion for both creativity and wellness. After years spent helping others thrive creatively, I saw how easily we can lose touch with our creative selves in a busy world. My goal became clear: to create a space where creativity could offer not just artistic skill, but a pathway to deeper self-connection and well-being.
Through weaving, spinning, cross-stitch, and many more techniques, I discovered how the act of making itself brings moments of calm, connection, and fulfillment. At Brigid Creative, I share this approach with you—guiding you in using fibre arts to build routines that nurture both your creative and personal life. Every piece you create becomes part of a legacy that brings purpose, relaxation, and resilience.
The Creative Path to Wellness
At Brigid Creative, my goal remains simple: to offer you a way to bring hands-on making into your life as a sustainable practice. Through courses, workshops, and resources, I focus on supporting your creative journey at every stage, helping you build skills, find balance, and reconnect with your sense of self through craft.
Why I create
As a fibre artist, I strive to blend technique and imagination on the loom and spinning wheel. I find my voice in the vibrant textures, colours, and patterns that emerge through weaving, which I see as a reflection of connection and resilience. This ancient craft embodies the work of women across generations and cultures, used to tell stories, clothe loved ones, and provide joy and protection.
I see weaving as a meditative process, a place where precision and stillness combine to create strength and function. My work honours sustainable practices through natural, locally sourced fibres, inviting a deeper connection to the world and to each other.
