About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Come along and join us for a morning of creativity with felt at Newtownards Leisure Centre starting at 11 am on Tuesday, May 9th. This is one of four workshops taking place across Northern Ireland, led by Arts Care on our behalf.

So why not come along yourself, or with a friend or family member, children from eight years can also take part alongside you. Let's have a great morning together!

In this workshop, we will be exploring wet felting techniques, and the creations from all four sessions will be brought together and displayed at our newly renovated Belfast Resource Centre, which will be reopening soon.

Our workshop leaders, Arts Care, are a renowned regional organisation in Northern Ireland dedicated to the arts, health, and well-being, making this a great opportunity to explore your creativity while contributing to a collective project.

Felting is a wonderful and therapeutic activity that offers numerous benefits. Here’s a few:

  1. Creativity and Expression:
  2. Self-Reflection:
  3. Social Connection
  4. Emotional Healing:
  5. Skill Development:

Overall, felting can be wonderful!

This workshop is suitable for adults and children who are living with MS or have a family member (or close friend) who is living with MS. Light refreshments will be provided on the day.

We look forward to having you join us!

This event is being supported by NI Arts Council.
