What a fantastic PVCL session last Tuesday, whittling and axing to some amazing woodwork creations! 🪓🪵

A huge thank you to Julia and her colleague Helena from Caorann: School of Craft & Building for teaching the women how to carve their very own wooden butter knifes. They guided everyone through each step of the process, adapting techniques to suit all abilities and making sure everyone could take part. Some feedback below from the participants:

'It's hard work on the arms, I feel like I've done a workout' - Wendy

'What a great session to release all your frustrations' - Cathy

'I enjoyed today's class, didn't think I could do that with wood' - Denise

'It was good fun. I'd definitely try it again, a brand new skill for me' - Shona

'Today was the first time I'd done woodwork and I really enjoyed it. I'd definitely do it again' - Misba

It was great to see everyone learning a new skill, building confidence and having lots of laughs. Safe to say the session was a wooden-ful success! 😉

Last week's Crafty Chats session was a fantastic soap-making workshop 🧼✨

This was a more advanced soap workshop as participants were shown how to make the inclusions - little colourful shapes that sit inside the soap which looks really cool & arty! The group made lots of curls and confetti shapes, then everyone picked a scent and colour for their main soap bar. Some of the women also used some dried rose petals & the soaps turned out beautifully! 💖

A lovely & creative session, It was also nice to welcome some new women along to Crafty Chats, and we look forward to seeing them again.

"It was a lovely evening! Thank you for having us" - Tanu

"It was so fun! The group is lovely and supportive. Thank you again for having us." - Sia

"I made this for my friend, she likes lemon so I chose a lemongrass scent. It was a lovely evening, I'll definitely be back." - Anne

Our Crafty Chats run every Wednesday 6pm-8pm at Gilded Lily, next session: Wed 29th July - 'Painting Clay Plaques'.

Our Mindful Moments session last week was about Breaking the Cycle 💞 The group looked at everyday actions and tried to identify daily stressors and negative thoughts, discussing different ways to deal with them and how to break the cycle of negativity. The activity was some fun & creative blowpainting which helped everyone to relax and reflect more on the discussion and theme of the session ✨️

"I have a lot of worries every day about health and my hip. Talking about it made me realise I'm not alone, and I will try to be more positive about what I can do." - Suzanne

Our Mindful Moments are taking a wee break this week but will be back next Monday 3rd August - 'Calm & Still' : Reflective Poetry workshop. If you would like to join please contact Heather via email: [email protected] or tel: 07763 894258

Our PVCL Tuesday participants have been getting creative with 2 fantastic art sessions over the last few weeks led by our wonderful volunteers Jessi and Shivangi!

In the first session, Jessi showed everyone how to create beautiful painted cherry blossom trees using all sorts of fun techniques from cotton buds and sponges to fingertips! Every piece was completely unique and showcased the incredible creativity of the group 🌸

This week's session led by Shivangi had the women sketching a vase of flowers each adding their own personal artistic style. Then came the highlight of the session, drawing portrait interpretations of our lovely Jessi 🥰 The session was filled with plenty of smiles, laughter and some great artwork.

A huge well done to all the ladies and a big thank you to Jessi and Shivangi for inspiring everyone and making the sessions enjoyable for all ✨️👏🏼
