Arts and crafts for wellbeing (18+)

Face to Face Recovery College Courses

The course will allow learners to develop art and craft skills through exploring techniques to complete 2 mini projects:

‘Marvellous Monograms’ – Learners will create a no sew decorative textile square using art and crafts techniques including fabric collage and drawing with thread to make a unique personal canvas square reflecting their initials

‘Totes Amaze’ Building on the techniques used, learners will use techniques including masking, stencil making, stencilling, tracing, and painting to create their own unique design on a useful Tote bag

Please ensure you let the College know at the time of booking if you have any dexterity issues or other concerns around using smaller pieces of equipment. Our crafting sessions often use equipment that may be more challenging to use with dexterity issues (such as pencils, pastels, sewing equipment or paintbrushes) and if informed in advance, we are able to make our sessions fully accessible for those with additional crafting support needs.
