Craft & Chat with Renew Wellbeing

Polymer clay workshop at Renew Wellbeing Altrincham

Crafting fun with polymer clay!

Our first gathering of the Craft & Chat group at Renew Wellbeing was such fun! We had a lovely session making jewellery, keyrings, models and small pieces with polymer clay. It was all the bling – out with the glitter, the hearts and stars, gold dust and an exciting array of texturing and shaping tools.

Everyone produced something (indeed several somethings!) charming – Christmas ornaments, earrings & necklaces, cracker gifts (who wouldn’t prefer a handmade cracker gift to the usual plastic novelties!) and keyrings. The group will be meeting every other week and lots more activities are planned along with friendly chat and a chance to unwind over a brew. If you would like to join us, it’s free to come along. Places are limited and you can find out more and reserve your slot here.
