Members of our Alan Shearer Centre have been looking forward to spring by creating a new mural to replace their last Newcastle-themed picture.
Regulars at the Live and Learn skills sessions for adults with learning disabilities decided to create a huge, colourful peacock to really brighten up their arts and crafts room.
Over a couple of weeks, various members have practically emptied the supplies cupboard of card, paint, tissue paper and glitter to make their stunning creation.
Recreation Assistant, Heather McLaren, said, “Everyone chose a different method of colouring and our peacock is looking fab! We especially enjoyed making the feathers for his tail fan.”
Live and Learn craft sessions are held on Tuesdays from 11am till 1pm, while Wednesday and Thursday 1pm to 3pm are dedicated cooking slots. You can find out more by calling the Activity Centre reception on 0191 267 8118.
