Arts and Craft Courses

Nail art is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish nails. 

It is a type of artwork that can be done on fingernails and toenails, usually after manicures or pedicures.

Manicures and pedicures are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nails, in these sessions we will learn skills to do these ourselves.

Come and join us in a relaxed environment to explore the benefits of treating ourselves and boosting our confidence and self esteem.

How does knitting help with mental health?

The act of knitting reduces stress and anxiety

It is proven to help to calm and still the mind, as the concentration required is a distraction and the yarn's texture and colour impact the mood.

The rhythmic motions and sense of focus can also help distract from mental health symptoms.
