Wow, I just love my job π©·
Over 6 weeks I've hosted adult craft sessions for Louth Local Development in Drogheda and Dundalk, which were free to anyone who wanted to join, with the idea being that it might bring together people from different areas of our society and thus, help in some way to build communities and strengthen bonds by bringing people together and encouraging those who might not normally, to be part of a local group.
Today was our final class, in Dundalk, and what an absolute pleasure it has been getting to know both groups over the 6 weeks.
We tried all kinds of crafts, and everyone has favoured different things, many of the participants have continued to do their chosen crafts at home as a hobby, which always makes me feel delighted π
But more importantly we've chatted, made friends, gotten to know each other, supported each others work and encouraged each other.
And I've witnessed confidence grow and everyone has been reminded of how important it is to switch off sometimes and do things which make us happy β€οΈ
What a pleasure π₯°
Thanks so much to everyone who has taken part in some, or all of the sessions. And thank you to Louth Local Development for working hard to enrich the places we live.
Today we painted pots and everyone took home a plant to grow. πͺ΄ How beautiful? π
