Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and creativity with our Wellbeing Textiles Course. This unique and enriching experience is designed to promote well-being and mindfulness through the art of textiles.
The Wellbeing Textiles Course is structured to provide a balance of instruction, hands-on activities, and reflective practices. Each session will focus on a specific aspect of well-being, incorporating textile techniques to facilitate personal growth and relaxation.
Join us on this inspiring journey, where the soothing textures of textiles meet the nurturing embrace of mindfulness. Rediscover the joy of creating while nurturing your mental and emotional well-being in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Every Story tells a Picture
Led by Jo Hall
For this course we will look at how a line of poetry or piece of prose can suggest a drawing or painting. This may be an illustrative or more abstract interpretation.
Work in any medium or a mixed media approach. Autumn, followed by winter and Christmas themes will feature.
For the first week bring a line of prose, poetry or a song that mentions or describes a season; e.g. 'Now is the winter of our discontent' or 'Spring is in the air'. We’ll think about literal and more abstract ways of encapsulating the words.
Please bring your own materials as detailed below:
Your choice of painting materials
Drawing board plus table easel or block to angle the board,
For wet media paints, brushes, water pots, palette, paper towel
We’ll discuss materials and approaches to this subject at the first session so bring a sketchbook or cartridge paper and drawing materials (pencil or crayon) to work out ideas.
