A short documentary featuring two participants in the Making Well Course

Introduction

Each course is made up of no more than twelve participants over the age of 18 years, with a personal experience of chronic mental or physical illness and with an interest in developing skills in craft-making and self-care. No previous crafting or conservation experience is required for the programme, as all activities are designed to be fully accessible.

We bring together local artisans with mental health service users and health and social care services, landowners and the third sector to create opportunities for community-based rehabilitation, working with natural materials through willow weaving, whittling, ceramics and horticulture. These crafting activities are interspersed with and framed by a range of contemplative practices. The programme aims to equip individuals with new skills while fostering healthy social and cognitive development for self-realisation.
