Arts and crafts over Stonecroft tea
Master of crafts, Laura Vogt, shared her testimony on how she became involved in crafting after moving to the South Coast permanently.
Art, talent and skill were the central themes at the recent Stonecroft Ministries monthly meeting held at Shelly Methodist Hall.
Vanessa Howard-Tripp explained how each individual has their own unique, God-given talent.
She reminded everyone that they can achieve anything, as long as they try, regardless of whether or not their efforts are perfect.
Naomi Skorpen entertained with melodic medley of golden oldies, inspired by what she called a collage of colours.
Master of crafts, Laura Vogt, shared her testimony on how she became involved in crafting after moving to the South Coast permanently.
“Your purpose in life is to use your gifts and talents to help others,” she said.
Laura and her team, including Irene Harris, Carol Peters and Dee Gutzeit, demonstrated a wide range of fun arts and crafts, including fabric painting and diamond dotting.
Laura explained the important role that arts and crafts plays in cognitive wellbeing, especially amongst the elderly.
She reminded everyone that although the brain ages, creative ability does not necessarily diminish.
Art can be used as a release, especially in moments of isolation or boredom.
There were some stunning hand-painted canvases and hand-dotted ornaments on display.
Those who attended enjoyed a hands-on experience in dotting their own mugs with paint, which they got to take home afterwards.
Laughter and smiles were shared as women giggled at one another’s creations and allowed their creativity to run free.
Stonecroft Ministries meet once a month and everyone is welcome to join them.
