Our Monday craft group
The Monday group members are all visually impaired and get together to craft and socialise, access to the group is via Newcastle Vision Support. See below for detailed information on the different crafts that the group members have taken on and enjoyed completing.
The silk paintings were completed using the templates and ink from Silkcraft Ltd, when the paintings are finished, the member has the choice of the painting being put into a frame or incorporated into a greetings card.
The mosaic trays and plates are all designed by members of the Monday group and the pieces then secured by them, to be grouted and coated in resin by one of the facilitators.
Members of the group have crafted using circular looms to make scarfs and weaving looms to create pieces to decorate cushions and one member made a very unique post note board. We also have an experienced knitter in our group using traditional needles.
One of our members is becoming a cross-stitch expert and is onto a second project that will produce a whopping A2 size picture.
Hats off to our members who are providing us with some great sketches, fabulous watercolours, along with intricate and imaginative colouring in.
