Residents Make Crafts for Summer Party
Old Sarum Manor Care Home has showcased the incredible talents of its residents this August, as the Arts & Crafts club flourished with creativity and collaboration leading up to the much-anticipated summer party. Every week, residents gathered to explore various crafting techniques, resulting in an impressive array of handmade items that were proudly displayed at the event.
Participants experimented with different mediums for the first time, including porcelain paint, as they crafted vibrant pieces of pottery. The club produced stunning necklaces and even joined forces to create a life-sized cowboy figure, demonstrating their imaginative spirit and teamwork. Additionally, residents harvested lavender from the care home’s garden to create delightful lavender bags, a project that proved particularly enjoyable.
The pride and joy displayed by the residents as they exhibited their artistic creations at the summer party were palpable. Many expressed their fulfillment in not just crafting, but also in sharing their work with friends, family, and fellow residents—transforming the event into a heartwarming celebration of creativity and community.
