BRAINS will be sharp while hands move repetitively on Friday, 4 October at the Bannockburn Library\u2019s Neural Knitwork session for seniors.<\/p>\n
From 2pm to 4pm, the Shire\u2019s older residents are invited to complete a knitting or crochet project, engage in meaningful conversations and mindfulness while problem solving.<\/p>\n
Whether experienced knitters or not, everyone is welcome to make a neuron out of fabric or wool, which will be curated for an upcoming community art display.<\/p>\n
Bannockburn Library\u2019s Branch Librarian, Tracie Mauro said the event is a partnership between Geelong Seniors Festival and Geelong Regional Libraries.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeural Knitworks will provide a great opportunity for local people to enjoy a fun and social crafting experience, whilst contributing to a larger community project,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project is designed to be a collaborative and fun activity, which also helps to sharpen minds and develop hand-eye coordination and dexterity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Geelong Regional Libraries Board Member, Cr Nathan Hansford said the organisation presents a diverse program of learning activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe provide many opportunities for people of all ages to develop new skills and build social connections,\u201d he said. \u201cI encourage members of the Golden Plains community to come along and get involved in the events taking place at the Bannockburn Library.\u201d<\/p>\n
