Mushroom Magic was our first workshop with the group at W.A.V.E. Training, over two Tuesdays. In the first session the group shaped mushrooms from clay and reflected on how change shows up in their own lives. In the second session the mushrooms were finished with string, knots and beads.

The group described the sessions as very therapeutic and relaxing, and different from what they normally get to do. Everyone ended up creating and enjoying it, including those who are usually more hesitant to join in.

Last Tuesday evening in Wexford, ten of us gathered around the clay for Mushroom Magic, our first Conscious Crafting workshop at Rustig Farmshop Café. We settled in with an amazing grazing board from Marilee, then hands went into the clay and stayed there.
No step-by-step instructions, just shapes, ideas, conversation and quieter moments with the music playing. Every piece turned out completely different.

Thank you to Rustig and to everyone who came. Our next evening at Rustig is Sparkly Season on Tuesday 17 November, book here: https://conscious-crafting.com/product/sparkly-season-workshop-tuesday-17-november-rustig-wexford/

We created lovely little mushrooms and plant mobiles with the Tory Pathfinders group with Sam. The group was full of chats, discussing their weekends with each other and up coming events. Some really enjoy getting their hand dirty and playing with the clay. In the second session, they loved the painting but found the beading a little difficult. In the end they were very proud of their work!

Workshop Gifted marked our first workshop at Waterford Academy of Music & Arts (WAMA) as we settled into the space and enjoyed the creative bustle around us. Over two sessions with Suzan, participants layered gelliprints and transformed their colourful papers into gift bags, envelopes, wrapping paper and tags, with bubble wrap proving a favourite for adding texture.
There was something satisfying about seeing the prints become thoughtful, useful pieces. Fittingly, everyone left with something handmade, ready to be gifted to someone else. We'd love to welcome some new ladies to our group for our upcoming workshops! Get in touch if you would like to know more or have any questions.

Coastal Keepsakes at St Brigids Family Resource Centre was held over two sessions with facilitator Sam, with the group transforming white shells and scallops using sea-patterned serviettes and beads. The group enjoyed working with the shells and adding their own details to the finished decorations. The meditation was particularly well received and one participant shared how good it felt to return to creativity.

Pebble Bash at Beechmount, part of Tory Services, saw residents turn simple pebbles into framed flowers, characters and playful little scenes across two sessions with facilitator Sam. Different shapes and sizes of stones became part of each design, with drawn details and personal touches bringing the pieces to life. The group shared ideas, helped one another and took pride in their finished pebble creations.

With our apple tree in the front yard laden with little sweet red apples, it was a symbolic way to end our Creative Lab sessions at the River Cottage, with the concept of a harvest.

We created apples from old book pages that jogged memories and reminded us of everything that we had achieved over this summer season.

I am full of gratitude for the laughter and creativity around our dinner table, and I’m looking forward to our next sessions at Waterford Academy of Music & Arts (WAMA) from next week Wednesday onwards.

Join us, there is plenty space and parking!
