These Workshops will utilise recycled materials, promoting sustainability, recycling, and reusing. They will enable residents to explore their creativity, promoting positivity, giving motivation, and increasing social interaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Creative activities can improve thinking, encourage movement, and have a positive impact on emotions and wellbeing. This workshop is a fun therapy that lets participants spend time together, enjoy a cup of tea and sing along. Using recycled materials makes it extra special and forms a valuable connection to the community. Sustainable arts and crafts classes are proven to be great therapy for residents with early-stage Dementia as they discuss the past, bringing back memories about old-fashioned crafts and reusing materials like jam jars, hessian bags, glass bottles, etc.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Wizard of Creation will deliver a 10-week course of workshops commencing in February 2024. Each week, residents will work on a new craft that they can keep or gift to their family and friends. The project will culminate with a local exhibition of the work, highlighting the important role that the residents have in the community and supporting the inclusion of the older generation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":28872,"template":"","class_list":["post-28871","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sustainable Arts and Crafts Workshops with The Wizard of Creation - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"With the support of the Creative Ireland Programme and Fingal County Council, The Wizard of Creation, Aga Hutcheson, will run a series of Sustainable Arts and Crafts Workshops in Moorehall Lodge Nursing Home in Balbriggan, County Dublin.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/sustainable-arts-and-crafts-workshops-with-the-wizard-of-creation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sustainable Arts and Crafts Workshops with The Wizard of Creation - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"With the support of the Creative Ireland Programme and Fingal County Council, The Wizard of Creation, Aga Hutcheson, will run a series of Sustainable Arts and Crafts Workshops in Moorehall Lodge Nursing Home in Balbriggan, County Dublin.
