Getting to Know You Crafting Session 1 - Embroidery

You are invited to the first of our Getting to Know You Crafting Sessions, in Starbucks in Rushmere Shopping Centre Craigavon November 3rd at 7.30pm.

We want to connect you with alternative ways that may help you figure out techniques to overcome obstacles whenever you feel ready to face the world again and begin to live with grief.

With this in mind, our first Craft session will be embroidery, and facilitated by charity founder, and business owner, Louise Taylor. 

Louise, after years of helping traditional craftspeople deliver workshops and bringing new life to an old traditional skill, was inspired to pick up a needle and thread. In a time of extreme grief, Louise began to build her own business which has flourished and continues to bloom under the name, Little Forget Me Nots.

Louise’s ethos is that using our hands can help our mental health. 

During this relaxed session you will have the opportunity to turn your hand at embroidery with a kit that you can take home. This is a chance to meet with others, learn more about the Little Forget me nots trust, to chat about your experience and just have a chilled out evening crafting.

This session will be restricted to 10 people, and we encourage you to bring a friend.

An Art Therapist will be joining to introduce what exactly Art Therapy is and how it can fit into your journey.

We will also be launching our new support programme that will be running from 2022 into 2023 and will support 10 families.

£5 charge is to cover resources for your embroidery kit.
