How about some junk mail origami?
The Therapeutic Benefits of Crafting for Neuro-Diverse Individuals
Meeting Paolo Baschetta
In 2024, workshops were still in favour of online, or were they?
I make stuff!
Everyone needs endorsement from others now and again :-).
These chaps reminisced over what they learnt at school!
Learn a mesmerising art form for team building
Director, Nick Jones, said it was the “perfect team building experience.” Why?
I have a fun workshop where we make the world record-holding paper plane. The design was created by John Collins and thrown by Joe Ayoob, and set the Guinness World Record in California in 2012. The world record was beaten in December 2022! Yes it was! And in fact it was beaten in April 2022 as well. So if you would like to learn to make the third-longest distance flown by a paper plane, I'm your gal!
"Invented" in 2014 by Pavel Piskarev, Neurographica combines subconscious and conscious drawing to create a piece of art designed to help you problem-solve. By putting our concern on a piece of paper in the form of a subconscious line, and then calming harsh thoughts through the next phase of drawing, we are interrupting our natural desire to try and fix the problem there and then. Have you ever had your best ideas when you remove yourself from the situation? You go for a walk, or chat to a friend and bingo - it comes to you. That is the idea behind this relaxing, and meditative process.
Origami, the art of paper folding, has been shown to have a number of benefits for mental health. It can help to reduce stress and anxiety, as it requires concentration and can be a meditative activity. It can also improve fine motor skills and increase feelings of accomplishment as one completes a project. Origami can be a way to express creativity, and it can be a relaxing and enjoyable activity. Some people find that it helps them to clear their mind and unwind after a busy day. In addition, origami can be a social activity, as it can be done with others or shared with others once a project is completed. This is a great experience to go through with teams and can be delivered online or in-person.
