You can join this course at stage after the start date, each week is a stand alone session.
Please ensure you let the College know at the time of booking if you have any dexterity issues or other concerns around using smaller pieces of equipment. Our crafting sessions often use equipment that may be more challenging to use with dexterity issues (such as pencils, pastels, sewing equipment or paintbrushes) and if informed in advance, we are able to make our sessions fully accessible for those with additional crafting support needs.
Please note – some of the materials used in these sessions may not be able to be taken on to ward environments.
Please note – the activities are the same for each 5 week course.
