News from Number 72

24 January 2025 No Comment

Number 72 – The Family and Community Network – is based at 72, North Street, Sudbury. Website www.number72.net/ .

One Wednesday every month we will be holding an art led activity.  If you are needing company, communication and a friendly chat in a quiet welcoming environment, why not see what we have in store!  The therapeutic benefits of meeting with others, keeping busy and being creative are all met with this new venture here at No. 72.  Booking is ESSENTIAL, so please do call/inbox or pop in to put your name down.

Although some of the activities link with others, it doesn’t matter if you don’t come to all of them. We will focus on the process rather than the finished result.

Wednesday 12th February – Handmade ‘seed-paper’ heart. Using pulp made from recycled paper and cardboard, we’ll make handmade paper and add seeds. Plant the paper yourself, or give it to a friend, and see what grows!

Wednesday 12th March – Weave a basket out of recycled newspaper. Weaving can be a meditative, calming activity. The finished baskets can be used for the eggs we will decorate next month.

Wednesday 9th April – Decoupage eggs. Decorate eggs using images cut from beautiful paper napkins.

Wednesday 14th May – Paste papers. Paste papers have been used in bookbinding for hundreds of years. It’s a simple, fun and effective way of making decorative paper, which we can then use to make a book cover.

Wednesday 11th June – Basic bookbinding. We’ll make a simple journal, using the paste papers from last month to make the cover.

Wednesday 9th July – Creative writing/journaling. Journaling can be a great way to gain a better understanding of your thoughts and emotions, strengthen your memory, and even relieve stress. Get some tips for how to begin.
