Unleash Your Creativity at the OTRC Weekend Wanderer's

Are you ready to add a splash of creativity to your weekends? The OTRC Weekend Wanderer's is here for you! Every other Saturday from 12 to 3 PM, we open our doors for an entertaining afternoon that’s all about socialising, crafting, and enjoying a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, this event is for you!

Join us as we explore the exciting world of crafts and creativity. Here is what you can expect from our upcoming sessions.

A Community of Creatives

The heart of the Weekend Wanderer's is our lively community. It’s a place where individuals from various backgrounds come together to enjoy crafting and foster creativity.

When you step into our space, you'll be surrounded by fellow enthusiasts—people who share a love for creativity and relaxation. The atmosphere is encouraging and supportive, inviting you to express your ideas and try new things.

Among the laughter and lively conversations, you might forge connections that last a lifetime. You could meet your next best friend or a new crafting buddy!

Crafting Fun Awaits

Once you settle into our crafting space, it’s time to let your creativity shine! Our sessions are designed to cater to various skill levels and interests.

From painting and drawing to scrapbooking and designing resin artwork, there is something for everyone! For example, our last session featured one of our support workers who facilitated a resin jewellery plate. One participant created a wonderful resin leaf with bits of flaky gold and stickers, while another week we had a beautiful painted bird. Not sure where to start? Our friendly hosts will be there to guide you, offering tips and helping you along the way.

Don't worry if you're new to crafting—our relaxed environment welcomes everyone, regardless of experience. The main thing is to jump in, have fun, and express yourself!

The Perfect Space for Creativity

What makes the Weekend Wanderer's special is our thoughtfully designed atmosphere. The OTRC is all about your comfort, allowing you to focus on what you love most: creating!

Picture a spacious area filled with light, cozy seating, and vibrant decor that prompts inspiration. We work hard to create a homey feel as you immerse yourself in your projects. Whether you need a breather in our comfortable chairs or want to sip on a steaming cup of tea, our space is designed for relaxation and creativity.

Bring Your Own Projects

One of the standout features of our Weekend Wanderer's sessions is the open policy on projects. If you have an unfinished painting, a knitting project that needs some attention, or even a journal you want to decorate, bring it along!

This openness fosters a dynamic exchange of creativity, where you can share techniques and ideas about your current projects. Unlike structured classes, which can feel a bit strict, our sessions offer the freedom to explore your creativity without constraints.

A Safe Haven for Creativity

In today’s rapidly changing world, taking time for yourself is essential. The OTRC Weekend Wanderer's aims to be a refuge for those looking to unwind and explore their creative side.

Our sessions are intentionally low-pressure and fun. You can come and go as you please, leaving behind daily stresses to focus on the joy of crafting. Participants have often expressed how our environment helps them de-stress and tap into their creativity. There’s no competition here, just a celebration of individuality and artistic expression!

Make Lasting Memories

Every session at the Weekend Wanderer's provides an opportunity to create memories. Whether it’s sharing a laugh over a crafting mishap or swapping tips with fellow crafters, you will create special experiences each time you join us. Capture the moments with your new friends, take photos of your impressive creations, and cherish the memories made here. These experiences will enrich your life and inspire you to keep crafting beyond our sessions.
