Beading N Binding

Beading and bookbinding are chill activities that practice mindfulness, promote fine motor skills and lower stress levels. You will make jewelry and accessories (e.g. bracelets, necklaces, ornaments, keychains and spectacles-/ mask- keeper) as well as bind different styles of books from scratch (e.g. back-stitch, daisy stitch, long-stitch, English case binding, Coptic binding). In the final weeks, you can choose to specialise in either jewelry making or bookbinding, and start journaling or try calligraphy! You get to take home your finished products, which can be turned into seasonal gifts. Even better, you can use these skills for service projects e.g. fundraising or teaching disadvantaged communities a new trade!

CAS Strand: Creativity

These activities stimulate creativity and imagination. After being taught basic skills, students are encouraged to create their own pieces. They are constantly creating, improvising and applying problem-solving skills which develop flexibility of the mind.
