Mindful Art & Craft Sessions for Adults
Gentle, grounding creative sessions designed to help you slow down, breathe and reconnect with yourself.
Every Tuesday at 12.30pm & 6.30pm — a calm, nourishing creative experience each week.
Welcome to Mindful Art & Craft Sessions
These sessions are an invitation to pause.
To step away from the noise, the to-do lists and the constant rush… and spend a little time doing something just for you.
Mindful Art & Craft Sessions focus on process over perfection, gentle guidance over pressure, and creativity as a way to feel calmer, more grounded and more present.
No experience needed.
No expectations.
Just space to breathe and create.
Whether you join us during the day or unwind in the evening, Tuesdays are about slowing down.
