SUMMARY:Community - Yarn Mandalas
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT INFORMATION\nBooking your place is essential so we can prepare materials and make everyone feel welcome. If you’ve booked but can no longer attend\, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your place to someone else.  \n \nCome and join Viv and Kate for a relaxed and friendly creative session where you’ll have the chance to try your hand at making a yarn mandala. This is a gentle\, three-hour afternoon designed to help you slow down\, switch off from everyday stresses and fully immerse yourself in the joy of making. \nYou’ll enjoy a calm\, supportive atmosphere focused on social connection\, mindfulness and creativity\, where there’s no pressure to be perfect … just plenty of encouragement\, laughter and time to explore something new. Whether you’re completely new to crafting or simply fancy trying a different technique\, this session is all about learning\, experimenting and having fun together. \nBy the end of the afternoon\, you’ll not only have new skills and something handmade to be proud of\, but also a sense of calm\, achievement and connection with others. Everyone is welcome\, just bring yourself and your enthusiasm to create. 💜✨ \nYou will be making a small yarn mandala\, using long kebab sticks as your frame. Never heard of a yarn mandala? … neither had we until we discovered them on Pinterest! Take a look here and get inspired! \nA huge thank you to the National Lottery Community Fund and all the players of the Lottery\, and to our amazing volunteers\, who make all of this possible. Together\, we’re creating a safe\, caring and creative space for everyone.
