Craft Gallery

Our craft sessions use a wide variety of processes and techniques including needle-felting, macramé, knitting, deco-patch and much more! Using methods of making, we aim to allow our members to create something they are proud of to encourage independent practise in the future. There are many positive benefits creating short films including:
 

• a means of self-development 
  Crafting can be a wonderful tool for helping individuals to face challenges by building up self-esteem and confidence.
   

• improves focus and being present
  Creating new narratives helps enable members to escape the worries of life and shift focus towards creating. Being able to fully focus on something helps members to be present, allows their mind to relax – much like meditation.
   

• helps relieve and reduce depression and anxiety
  Studies show that repetitiveness of the certain arts and crafts has been proven to release serotonin, a natural anti-depressant, which is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness.
