This week our participants learnt how to make gonks, rustic hearts and rustic stars for presents for friends and family.
We used natural materials such as twigs, twine, wood, dried flowers and pine cones. Participants co-operated in sharing resources eg the glue gun and clippers, helped each other make rustic stars and shared innovative ideas.
As part of this session we discussed the mental health concerns of the group including isolation and loneliness over the festive season.
This group has cheered me up so much. I’ve looked forward to coming to most of the sessions. I hope we get a chance to do some more as it’s been so much fun.
