Who is it for?
Priority will be given to Lansbury/Limehouse East Area women.
Women from all other areas of Tower Hamlets are welcome as well.
Our workshop will accommodate 10 ladies from our local community with the aim of supporting each one of you when you feel alone and need social connections during term times when the children are at school. This will help you to engage and add vibrancy to your days through your creativity in a confidential social environment which will enable you to offload any well-being issues with the help of the cross stitch workshops. This will be a space for you to feel that you are a part of a social group, build on your bonding and confidence together, and help improve your well-being and communication skills.
The course will end with full participation acknowledgements, special guests and certificate hand outs.
Certificates will only be attained upon completion of 5 days attendance.
All course materials will be provided in class.
On session 4 (Monday 2nd February) there will be a group trip to V&A South Kensington Museum for inspiration on embroidery and cross stitch etc. Full participation in group activity is required. There will be a meeting point arranged to journey there and back at stipulated times ensuring we are together as a group. Further options will be available in person.

She will be sharing her skills first hand and walking with you on how to bring in relaxation of the mind and body to help you with your artistic mind.
