South Wye girls get crafty
Creative young women are being offered free jewellery making workshops at Hinton Community Centre this month.
The council's youth service runs a very successful girls' group every Wednesday at Hinton Community Centre from 7-9pm and the community youth worker, Sarah Melia is always thinking of new activities and experiences for the girls to try.
Leominster-based jewellery maker, Dawn Turton will offer the girls beginners workshops on Wednesday 7th and 21st November where they will learn how to make beautiful necklaces, bracelets and, if they show some skill, earrings using wire and beads.
Sarah Melia, community youth worker, said: "The girls' group has been running for over two years and is going from strength to strength. We get around twenty 11-19 year olds joining in every week. The girls are great fun and love trying new things. It's a great way for them to make new friends and try different activities without getting distracted by the boys.
"With Christmas on the horizon, we thought jewellery-making would be a great activity to try. Other events on the horizon include karaoke, cooking, football and more arts and crafts."
No previous experience is needed for any of these activities and they are all free of charge.
