Royal Agricultural Easter Show took place in the term break and we were delighted to see two students from Glenaeon that had their craft work of embroidery, and crochet selected for display. There were many categories for the under 20's section and between them they entered in and received prizes for home decoration, wearable garment, accessory, and toys.
Hanako T. (Yr 12) entered three craft pieces and she won three prizes: First prize - any type of needlework incorporating hand stitching, Second prize - most decorative article for the home in a textile medium and Highly Commended- Creative item, hand knitted or crocheted.
Goro T. also entered three crafts pieces and he won one prize - Third prize - Wearable article, hand knitted or crocheted.
They enjoyed sewing and crocheting every day. Especially during their sailing competitions (one of Hanako and Goro's other passions), which can last from two days to over a week. It can be mentally challenging to stay focused throughout, but by doing crafts after each race, they are able to relax and recharge for the next day. Craft helps maintain our mental health and promotes a sense of calm.
Well done Hanako and Goro!
