Yarn Project: Pom Pom Contemporary Wall Hangings

FREE - DONATION ONLY

This course is 5 weeks long, with the opportunity to attend further creative courses, to help support postnatal learners in the West Somerset community.

This is a professional artist and tutor guided art & craft session for parents & carers of babies under one. In this five week course you will learn how to make pom poms, tassels and construct a mobile or wall hanging.

It is an opportunity, for parents and carers, to spend some time with like minded people and a chance to get creative. Many postnatal groups are focused on your baby, but this one is all about you and tapping into your creativity... and baby comes along for the ride. You will have lots of support along the way and no previous experience is required to take part.

The first year of having a new baby can be a roller coaster and this class is intended to provide you with a consistent creative outlet to keep you going through the ups and downs of that first year. Peer support and mindful activity is incredibly valuable and there is plenty of it to be found here each week.

This course is the result of a successful pilot scheme held at East Quay in partnership with their learning team. This course runs in conjunction with the creative, art & craft projects that take place throughout the year in term time at The Old Stores Studio - suitable for all abilities.

East Quay, like the studio, has a coffee bar with fruit and herbal cordials, teas and coffees plus delicious cakes (with dairy and gluten free options) as well as parking and ample room for buggies, breastfeeding and baby changing facilities. We will provide tray bakes and tea in each session. Donations towards the group and refreshments are welcome but only suggested as the course is FREE for adults aged over 19 who live in Somerset.

Activities at BYB have included contemporary stitched embroidery hoops, modern calligraphy, lino cutting and printmaking, pom pom wreaths, handmade wooden mobiles, collage, book binding, leatherwork, painted height charts and many more creative projects. Join us for this and sign up to future projects.

This group is FREE and funded by Somerset Council for adults over 19 who live in Somerset. It is accessible to all and we meet in term time. Join the waiting list if it is fully booked as you will be informed of any spaces that may become available.

THE OLD STORES STUDIO is a nonprofit arts organisation and we run versatile art, craft & creative groups, courses, workshops and events at our studio space in Evercreech - 10 minutes from Bruton & Castle Cary in Somerset - under an hour from Bath & Bristol, UK and at other sites and venues.
