Frightfully Fluffy: Woolbeing
Howlands Centre, Dewsbury, School Street, Dewsbury, WF13 1LD

Life skills and interests
Join us for this spooktacular creative workshop, where we’ll explore the many therapeutic benefits of working with wool, while creating some creepy Halloween ornaments for you to decorate your home or gift to others. With the help and support of our lovely Peer Worker, Ali and Recovery College Volunteer, Ann we’ll discover three delightful crafts that promote relaxation, mindfulness and self-expression.
Using soft, colourful wool fibres we’ll learn how to make a mesmerising mandala. We’ll also create fluffy, tactile pom-poms, perfect for adding a touch of spooky charm to your Halloween decor. The repetitive motion of this particular activity is a great way to soothe the mind!
Finally, we’ll dive into tassel-making using a variety of different yarns. As we twist and trim we can allow our stresses to melt away in a welcoming and safe space. Come join us for a bewitching experience that combines creativity and relaxation in the spirit of Halloween!
