Art Club – Weaving Stories
Join us for an evening of connection and creativity as we weave together a willow heart with artist Glenys Newton. Using willow and foraged materials, you’ll have the opportunity to create a heart of your own to take home or collaborate with others to weave a larger heart as a group. As we weave, we’ll focus on weaving in our hopes, dreams, and intentions—creating a meaningful symbol of community and shared positivity. This hands-on workshop is a chance to slow down, reflect, and connect with others in a peaceful and supportive environment. Let your hands and heart come together in this beautiful, meditative process. Secure your place today and be part of something special!
Reserve your spot today and immerse yourself in the art of weaving! Explore Glenys’s unique work at www.glenysnewton.co.uk for a peak of what you’ll create.
