A relaxing and quiet time of creativity which may reduce stress and anxiety. These sessions will be used to explore creativity through colour and have some peaceful ‘time-out’.

Come and join Ōrākei School’s Sewing Club where you will learn the basics of this exciting skill. In this club we’ll have heaps of fun designing bags, pouches, cushions and anything your creative brain can come up with that requires material and a needle and thread! Bring the material you’d like to use as well as any other exciting bits such as sequins or buttons and I’ll do the rest. You’ll learn which stitches to use with which garment and the best ways to sew fabric together.
