Celebrating Creativity with Wet Felting
As carers we make a conscious effort to create a nurturing space for a child to encourage
creativity and imagination. However, when is the carer, teacher or parent nourished? In order for
creativity to flourish we need to live within this experience ourselves.
This fun day will explore how to embrace and enhance creativity into your daily or weekly rhythm.
We will be nurturing the head, heart and soul in this fun practical session.
