Course overview
Course description
In this Arts and Crafts for Wellbeing course, participants will embark on a journey of artistic exploration, focusing on techniques that promote relaxation, mindfulness, and personal expression. Each session will introduce a new craft project, guided by an experienced tutor who is passionate about fostering creativity and mental wellness.
You will discover the joy of transforming fabric scraps into one-of-a-kind beads, exploring different fabric textures, colours, and patterns to express your individual style. You will use your beads to help create a wall hanging, which will utilise macramé techniques and naturally acquired materials to create something unique and develop a deeper understanding of texture, symmetry, and balance in your creations.
We will continue our exploration of repurposing and upcycling by transforming ordinary glass jars into decorative vases or storage jars using various embellishment techniques. Explore painting, decoupage, and other methods to add personality and flair to your upcycled vases. Learn how to repurpose everyday materials while enhancing your home decor and reducing waste.
Throughout the course, learners will not only gain practical skills and creative inspiration but also experience the therapeutic benefits of engaging in arts and crafts. From stress relief and improved mood to enhanced focus and self-confidence, this course offers a holistic approach to wellbeing through the transformative power of creativity.
