Crafts with an elderly group

Recently I had the pleasure to run two workshops in a Care Home in Sherwood, Nottingham.
The elderly people were with various levels of dementia and other health conditions. They transformed the empty boring jars into Christmas Vases for dry flowers, tinsel, sweets... using glass markers, paints, stickers, yarn, herbs, wild flowers...
 We all enjoyed the process and the end results. Seeing their faces light up with pride was very touching. I even received a Christmas card from one of the ladies I've just met! There were also songs, chat, lots of praise and laughter.


It was a fabulous workshop for health and well-being!
