Description
Relax, create, and feel better Join us for a relaxing and friendly course that uses simple textile crafts to help you feel calmer, more focused, and more connected. Each week, you'll try out creative activities like tapestry weaving, weaving with natural materials, making textile jewellery, coiled basketry, braiding, and rag rug making.
