As we step into February, a month often associated with kindness and love, we are excited to bring these themes into our creative sessions.
February’s focus will be exploring the concept of unconditional love, and embracing ways to incorporate this into our creative work. We invite everyone to think deeply about what unconditional love means to them.
Our creative workshops will run every Wednesday, 10 AM – 12 PM, at Cromwell House and every Thursday, 10 AM – 12 PM, at Battersea Arts Centre.
Let’s dive into February’s activities:
Week 1: Catch-Up & Relaxing Coloring
5th & 6th February 2025
We’ll ease into the month with a relaxing session designed for unwinding and reflection. Bring along any unfinished projects or join us in a special coloring activity centered around kindness and love. Look forward to coloring pages featuring uplifting words, floral patterns, and heart designs, helping you connect with this month’s themes in a calming way.
Key Focus: Start the month gently, reflecting on love and kindness while expressing creativity through simple yet meaningful coloring.
Week 2: Journaling
12 & 13 February 2025
This week is all about journaling! We’ll decorate journals with themes of love, kindness, and unconditional care. Participants can explore different styles, from collage work to calligraphy, with a focus on “Al-Wadud” as inspiration. You’ll also have the opportunity to write or doodle about acts of kindness you’ve experienced or offered to others.
Key Focus: we invite Muslims and non-Muslims alike to reflect on what it means to be “the most loving.” Inspired by Allah’s name Al-Wadud (The Most Loving), this reflection is an opportunity to delve into the concept of unconditional love—its meaning, its power, and how we embody it in our daily lives.
What does it mean to be truly loving? What does it involve? Is it patience, compassion, or acts of kindness? Is it being there for others in their time of need, or perhaps forgiving even when it’s difficult? Love, in its purest form, transcends boundaries and expectations, asking us to give selflessly and authentically.
Through our creative sessions, we’ll explore this profound theme, using art as a medium to express and understand the depth of love and kindness. Let’s consider how we can embody unconditional love in small, meaningful ways and how these acts can ripple out to touch others around us.
Join us as we reflect, create, and share this universal message of love and compassion.
Week 3: Embroidery & Textile Project
19&20 February 2025
Wednesday session at Cromwell house will resume at 11:30.
Dive into the world of embroidery and textiles with this special session! Using the themes of hearts, kindness, and love, you’ll have the chance to create fabric hearts or embellish textiles with designs inspired by these concepts. Whether it’s creating a small wall hanging or stitching a thoughtful gift for someone special, this activity is all about spreading love through fabric art.
Key Focus: Explore the tactile joy of embroidery, creating heartfelt designs that reflect February’s theme.
Week 4: Open Art & Craft
26 & 27 February 2025
