Our experience…
We have done many workshops for charities, including friendship and support group activities for Age Cymru & Unpaid Carers across venues in Gwent, a 10-week sewing course for Afghanistan Refugees at their temporary housing in a Cardiff hotel, monthly Facebook LIVE sessions for the Royal Voluntary Service, where we promote a range of crafts, as well as monthly Parent & Child workshops at Lark studio and on Zoom for Single Parents Wellbeing.
We have also been successful in securing funding to do several workshops in British Sign Language for the Deaf Community in Wales.
Finally, we have also done other events, including annual lectures and interactive sessions for Occupational Health University students on the importance of design, and outdoor events such as the MADE in Cardiff festival, Green Man Music Festival, Rudry Music Festival and Insole Court Open Days.
