Mindful Making - drop in session

Learn embroidery and weaving techniques, and discover the link between mindfulness and making.

Drop in between 10am and 12pm to learn some embroidery and weaving skills and create something to take home with you. Inspired by Bloomfield Hospital's legacy of occupational therapy, we'll discover how making and being creative can be positive for our wellbeing.

All resources will be provided.

This session is open to families of all ages, including primary school aged and under-5's. All children must be accompanied by an adult carer.
