Green Creations delivers creative workshops in Tameside and Oldham, aimed at bringing people together to create connections and discover the power of slowing down, learning something new and exploring creativity to benefit their mental wellbeing. Our workshops are an opportunity to try something new and can be a great boost to self confidence and morale as there is nothing more rewarding than leaving a session feeling proud with something you have made yourself :) Our sessions are inclusive and suitable for all levels of ability, whether you're new to crafting and haven't picked up a paint brush since school, or you're a seasoned crafter. All instruction, equipment and materials are supplied and our facilitators are on hand to ensure that every participant has the support they need to enjoy their experience. In addition to our funded community workshops that are free of charge we also run two regular workshops in Costa Coffee that are £10 and regular more skilled workshops in creative arts such as Glass Fusion that cost from £30. These paid for sessions help to fund the costs of running Green Creations and enable crafters to develop their creative skills and take the creative expression in new directions. We like to take inspiration from nature and have an environmentally conscious approach to our workshops, recycling and upcycling materials wherever possible to create something new and beautiful from something that might otherwise be wasted.
