Description

Relax, create, and feel better Join us for a relaxing and friendly course that uses simple textile crafts to help you feel calmer, more focused, and more connected. Each week, you'll try out creative activities like tapestry weaving, weaving with natural materials, making textile jewellery, coiled basketry, braiding, and rag rug making. You don't need any experience, just come along and have a go. As you make things with your hands, you'll learn how craft can help you slow down, reduce stress, and feel more positive. You'll also have time to chat and connect with others in a safe, welcoming space. Mindful Makes is a chance to take a break, learn something new, and do something just for you.
