Arts and crafts for health

We run weekly sessions, offered through local health services, as a social prescription to help people dealing with mental health challenges. 

This group runs weekly on Tuesdays, from 10.30am – 12.30pm (this may vary in school holiday periods).

There will be three main activities on offer every week:

  • Bring your own craft. This will give you the option to work on your own project with support from our coordinator (free).
  • Tangles (doodle line drawing) or card making. Learn how to make beautiful designs and creations (free). 
  • Various activities, from ceramic painting to felt work. These will be charged to cover the cost of materials. 

We offer participants 20% discount in the café on the day of activities.

    Our museum

    China clay mining has shaped the landscape, lives of people and economy of mid-Cornwall for over 250 years. It is Cornwall’s largest mining industry. A fully Accredited Museum, we are based within two Victorian china clay works, now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. We tell the story of this fascinating industry and the people who worked and lived in the shadows of Cornwall’s iconic ‘white pyramids’.

  • Why visit

    Why visit

    Dig deep and discover the special ingredient in your everyday life that still shapes Cornwall and the world today…china clay! It hides in your toothpaste, your paper, your car tyres and even your cosmetics. It’s a billion pound, global industry. We are telling the story of Cornwall’s secret, and the people who brought it to you, from the heart of Clay Country.
