Erewash Wellbeing Taster Session
We invite you to take part in this gentle, creative junk journalling session designed for all Erewash residents. This free activity is part of a wider programme led by Arts Derbyshire’s Creative Health Team in partnership with Erewash GP Practices. This event will be delivered here in at Our Crafty Place.
What to Expect
A warm welcome awaits you. Settle in with a brew and enjoy a friendly group session in a safe, supportive space. This is a chance to try junk journalling … a playful, relaxing creative activity that supports wellbeing, confidence and connection. Come and experience the health benefits of crafting whilst making your own wellbeing journal.
There may be a number of mental health conversations that happen naturally during this session, as these are wellbeing focused sessions predominantly aimed at adults. If being around these kind of conversations with your child feels OK to you then you are welcome join us. We have found that creative activities can sometimes help people open up in their own time, with people they feel at ease around, and we hold that with care and respect.
You’ll be guided by local people who are passionate about creativity and community. There’s no pressure, no experience needed and no right or wrong way to take part.
About Junk Journalling
Junk journalling is exactly what it sounds like … turning everyday materials into something beautiful and personal. You’ll create a small journal using items such as used envelopes or small boxes, covering them with patterned napkins and decorating them in your own style.
Inside, the pages are made from a mix of papers and thin card, arranged in interesting ways and simply stitched together to form your journal. It’s a gentle, absorbing process that encourages play, experimentation and time for yourself.
Why Join In?
- Enjoy a calm, creative activity that supports wellbeing

- Try something new in a relaxed, welcoming environment
- Take home a handmade journal that’s uniquely yours
