Lizzie's Craft Club Update

Last year, I wrote an article in Wellspring about my Saturday Craft Club. I was contacted by a parent and
her son and daughter attended my Christmas Craft Club. Here’s what she said about the club:

I was overjoyed at finding out about Lizzie’s Craft
Club last year because at last both my children could
attend a club together, be supported to achieve, and
enjoy themselves and each other! Luke and Emily joined Lizzie for her Christmas Craft Club last year. At the end of six sessions, they had created an
incredible number of beautiful art works and objects using different media and skills. Both children are very proud of their own and, interestingly, each others creations.
I feel that, because they created their artworks at the same time and shared in the making process, they both related and celebrated in the joy of the finished product.
As a parent of children with differing needs, Lizzie’s Craft Club uniquely provided a prolonged and focused activity over several weeks, that they were both challenged by and really enjoyed. I asked them both
retrospectively what they thought and remembered of the club. Emily smiled and said it was ‘very good’. It was difficult to get Luke to stop talking but in summary, he loved it and ‘would do it again 1000 times over, Spring, Summer whenever...’ High praise
indeed Lizzie, as he is very discerning. You have two
very happy ex-pupils here! When’s your next course?

I am extremely pleased to announce that Wellspring has been given some funding by The Alchemy
Foundation which will enable me to offer

FREE PLACES to disabled children and/or their siblings at my club.
If you would like to know more about the club and would like to book places, please contact me.
