Leathercraft workshops coming Jan 2018 at Somerset House, Strand. Read on to find out why they make the perfect gift for someone who needs spoiling this Xmas. So you may not know I started running craft workshops 10 years ago. A safe place for people come along, learn a new skill, eat some homemade bakes and unlimited tea and coffee. Little did I know the therapeutic benefits I would witness, participants also people at risk of homelessness and experiencing life crises affecting their mental health and wellbeing. The transformation of these people was phenomenal. Even more surprising some years on was the therapeutic benefits I would experience when dealing with my own life adversities. From money woes to breakdowns in relationships. Each workshop is designed for each participant to leave with a high-quality product that has been handmade by you! Studies have shown that making with your hands can help those suffering from anxiety, depression or chronic pain such as arthritis. Make 2018 all about you and your self-care!
