Anyone who has become absorbed in a hobby will tell you how the activity can totally engage your attention and harness your creativity. Being "in the moment" is an essential part of following a pattern or instructions; these qualities can become a form of mindfulness practice, bringing you peace, relaxation, and a sense of wellbeing.
Crochet is a cheap and portable hobby – you can make projects for yourself or for your home or to give as gifts to friends and family. The satisfaction of creating these items and seeing others admire them also helps to encourage positive feelings, satisfaction, and happiness.
Come along to this beginner’s course, learn the basics of crochet, and engage in a relaxing and productive craft activity! You’ll be able to make and take home granny squares, a coaster or a phone cover.
What will I learn?
On this course, you will learn the basics of mindfulness and how to carry out crochet activities in a mindful and relaxing way.
This will include identifying sources of stress in your own life and how to apply your new skills to help you to relax in your daily life.
Over the course you will also learn the art of crochet and create a small item to take home as a reminder of your achievement and participation.
