Our crochet & create series has begun with the group already confident with the chain stitch !
Β This means they are well on their way to creating at least one complete finished piece (or even two!) to take home by the end of the workshops.
Why Crochet?
β’A mindful activity that eases stress and supports mental wellbeing
β’ A chance to connect, share and reduce social isolation
β’ A creative outlet different from everyday life
