MINDFUL TEXTILES

Sensory and mindful textile-based sessions for all ages and abilities.

We offer a variety of workshops for groups and on one-to-one basis. The aim of this programme is to support

social interaction, communication difficulties and mental well-being. 

All of our sessions combine visual and tactile sensory elements, mindfulness and creativity.

We run our workshops in schools, community centres, care homes, museums, galleries, gardens and community rooms. 

Depending on the age and ability of the participants, activities may range from textile manipulation, needlework, weaving

or block printing.
