Art for mental health and wellbeing, workshops and kits
Significant Seams offers artist-led well being workshops and sewing supplies for social good. We build community and support people in vulnerable life moments. We bring people together, support them out of isolation, develop practical skills, confidence and well-being and improve understanding of complex issues across communities. We have a track record for activating networks into volunteering and developing informal support networks. Our current work has three strands, mirroring the regional Strategy for Arts & Health: a) mental health and wellbeing, b)vulnerable young people and c)carers in both prevention and mental health recovery.
Previous participants in Significant Seams initiatives, courses and activities have said,
“Stitching has kept me sane during a lonesome lockdown.”
“Crafting from nature has reconnected me with my creativity which is essential to my wellbeing.”
“Being creative anchored a sense of possibility, of happiness - a relishing in my own capacity and process of making, inventing , actualising. It gave me time to focus away from anxious thoughts - and just BE in the focus of absorption”
“Creating helps me stave off depression.”
