South Kent Mind craft group

View our activity calendar
Activity calendar

The South Kent Mind craft group practices a variety of different art forms. Everyone is welcome to join in, try something new and is encouraged to be immersed in the moment. The group promotes:

  • A structured step-by-step learning to produce an outcome through practice.
  • A process-led practice, being mindful of the moment rather than the end result.
  • Artist-inspired sessions, learning about different artists and using their work as an inspiration to produce our own piece.
  • Working with different mediums in an experimental and playful way.

The weekly craft group starts every Monday from 12:30-2pm. The classes are held at South Kent Mind, 3 Mill Bay, Folkestone, Kent CT20 1JS.

There are only a certain number of spaces, so please book early. To book, email contact@southkentmind.org.uk or phone 01303 250090.

To become a Mind member please phone us on 01303 250090 or email us at contact@southkentmind.org.uk to book a face-to-face referral appointment.
