Arts & Crafts

At Craigieknowes Care Home in Perth, we believe that engaging in arts and crafts offers residents an enjoyable and meaningful way to express themselves. Our arts and crafts sessions are designed to inspire creativity while promoting relaxation and social connection. Whether you enjoy painting, knitting, or seasonal crafts, there is a wide variety of activities to suit all interests and abilities.

We take pride in providing a supportive environment where residents feel comfortable trying new skills or rekindling old hobbies. Our dedicated activities team plans projects that encourage individual expression and group collaboration, helping everyone feel included and empowered.

Accessible and All-Inclusive Sessions

Each arts and crafts session at Craigieknowes is adapted to meet the needs and abilities of participants, ensuring that everyone can join in at their own pace. Residents have the opportunity to select activities that resonate with them, from simple colouring and collages to more detailed painting and textile crafts. The focus is on enjoyment and accomplishment, not perfection.

Our team supports each resident with patience and encouragement, creating a warm atmosphere where risks can be taken without pressure. Displaying residents’ artwork throughout the home not only celebrates their efforts but also adds personal character to the shared spaces.

Encouraging Social Connections

Arts and crafts at our home offer more than a creative outlet, they are ways to build friendships and strengthen community ties. Group projects, seasonal themes and special events give residents reasons to come together and share moments of laughter and conversation.

We also invite families to take part in crafts during visits or community events, as it makes these occasions even more special. Many residents find that hands-on activities spark memories and conversations about their past, which leads to increased well-being.
