CRAFT WEEK TALK - PICKING UP THE PIECES – How Creativity Cultivates Our Mental Well-Being - 19th JUNE 2025
Join us for an inspiring evening exploring the power of creativity to heal, transform, and rebuild.
We're delighted to welcome local psychotherapist and counsellor Miranda Eyre, alongside Jordanne Cliffe from Fine Cell Work—a social enterprise charity that trains prisoners and prison leavers in high-quality needlework. Through craft, Fine Cell Work helps individuals redefine themselves, inspiring personal growth and empowering them to rebuild their lives with purpose and dignity.
Hosted by Philippa King of Curious House, this thoughtful discussion will delve into the psychological and emotional benefits of creative activity. We’ll explore how making with our hands engages the brain differently from analytical thinking—opening up space for emotional processing, reflection, and healing.
You’ll hear how Fine Cell Work’s transformative approach gives prisoners a skill they can earn money from, while more importantly, offering focus, pride, and a powerful alternative to destructive thoughts and behaviours. It’s a story of resilience, creativity, and second chances.
🧵 Tickets are £10 - all proceeds will go directly to Fine Cell Work, and there will also be a chance to purchase some of their stunning handmade products on the night. The talk will begin at 7.30pm in The Big Room at The Bell.
