About this Event
'Hug T-shirt' making at Care UK's The Potteries, Broadstone
A care home in Poole is set to host a heartwarming T-shirt making session for residents, community members and their loved ones.
Care UK’s The Potteries, on York Road, will open its doors for the unique event on Friday 14th March, from 2pm-4pm, where participants can create their very own ‘hug T-shirts’ using paint and their own bodies to transfer the imprinted embrace of a loved one onto their garment.
During the workshop, led by the activities team, those taking part will paint their arms with a swirl of colours before hugging their chosen partner, who will be wearing a plain white t-shirt, to create a colourful imprint. The workshop has been launched ahead of Mother’s Day, giving the local community an opportunity to create a unique and lasting keepsake with their mother or loved ones.
The creative session will also encourage cognitive engagement and emotional wellbeing, giving residents and community members the chance to build relationships with one another in a fun – and delightfully messy – environment.
Participants are asked to book in advance and bring their own white T-shirts to the session.
