Crafts such as knitting and crochet, and other creative activities like colouring-in and drawing, have been said to promote good mental health and wellbeing. Research from our group and others has demonstrated that when these activities are done in a purposeful and mindful way, they can improve well-being and reduce stress, across cultures and societal groups. Our workshops aim to demonstrate 'mindful crafting' and encourage you to support your wellbeing using these activities.
