Mosaic Workshops

The August mosaic workshop run by Bunnings, in the hall for our Leith Park independent living residents was a huge success. The energy in the room was amazing as residents became fully immersed in the activity. It was all heads down and let’s get into it, as their creativity took over.

Mosaics are an art form that should be considered as a great and useful activity. By building mosaics, the elderly continue to develop and keep their concentration- levels, fine motor skills, pattern recognition, focus, and teamwork. And most importantly, they have fun.

We had ten residents who took part with many others dropping in to have a sticky beak, some of whom wished they had taken up the opportunity too. They may just get their chance because Lisa (from Bunnings) also indicated that she loved the session and is keen to come back and conduct future workshops with our residents who she enjoyed working with. This makes us incredibly happy to have a great activity that residents truly enjoy and benefit from.
