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
β’ A way to make something personal and meaningful
We can’t wait to see the beautiful finished items in the weeks ahead.
We do our best at keeping workshops free and accessible, but that does mean demand is very high. Spaces fill quickly, and we do our best to make sure as many people as possible can enjoy the creative projects.
