Got any UnFinished Objects lying around, or an idea for a new one? Why not come and be crafty with us? This informal crafts group meets twice each month, 10.30am-2.30pm, on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays. No previous experience is required and all are welcome at this friendly session.
DO I NEED ANY MATERIALS?
Yes, you’ll need to bring your own project and materials with you as none are provided. This is simply a safe and friendly space to work on your own projects with other likeminded folk, with experienced teachers on hand.
HOW WILL I BENEFIT FROM THE SESSIONS?
The great news is, not only are crafts fun to do, but taking part in arts & crafts can alleviate the symptoms of anxiety, depression, loneliness and even dementia, according to very credible research. You can read about some of the remarkable mental health benefits of crafts here.
Arts and crafts can develop into a journey of wonderful discovery, allowing everyone to have not just a creative time but a calm, focused and meditative time, a time for quiet reflection and thought, whist creating a visual outcome. The confidence from this creative journey creates ownership and passion but most importantly, creative confidence. A confidence that can help build other skills throughout life.

HOW MUCH DO THE SESSIONS COST?
