This workshop is not a test to examine your craft skills; it is just a time to learn and share together in the hope that it will help you find a new hobby and relax in your free time. At this workshop, we will combine craft practice and mindfulness which will give us some techniques to relax, release stress, and refresh our minds. This also gives you a chance to discover your artistic skills and spend time in personal reflection to notice what type of flowers or colours you like and why.
