We’re delighted to announce the return of Creative Carers to Ballydehob!
Join Sharon dipity for a four-week series of relaxed and enjoyable visual art workshops starting this October. Exploring a harvest theme, the group will begin by working with acrylic paints. The workshops are open to all family carers or anyone caring for a loved one, family member, or friend at home. They are welcoming spaces that offer family carers the opportunity to take a moment for yourself, connect with others, and explore your own creativity.
No previous experience is needed and all materials will be provided!
