Creativity and Conversation
Ilfracombe Library, Thursdays 11am-1pm
​
This project is aimed at helping you to improve your mental wellbeing, by doing something creative!
​
Using different crafting activities, you will explore ways of boosting your confidence and self esteem.
The project will include sewing, knitting, doodling, collage and slow stitiching. You will have the opportunity to try new techniques, have fun and develop ideas to help you take time out for yourself and meet new people.
Connecting with Nature and our local environment
If you're looking for a little peace and quiet in a busy world, this could be for you!
​
Spending time outdoors and learning more about the natural world (plants, the coast etc) can really help to bring some inner calm as well as being fascinating.
​
This project will offer you the chance to learn more about our local environment and to work on an individual project. It also gives you the chance to connect with other people in a friendly and informal setting.
​
All resources will be provided - you are welcome to bring along a project if you prefer.
​
Journalling for Wellbeing
If you would like to keep a record of your feelings and experiences, why not try journalling or scrapbooking?
​
Using a variety of techniques you will be able to create a personal journal or a scrapbook. This can also be used as a way of exploring your emotions and identifying patterns of behaviour while being creative.
​
We will combine traditional papercrafting skills and journalling with a creative twist so that you can express yourself more freely.
