S8: Ep2 Crafting for the brain with Laura and Jenny from ReCraft Arts


Listen Later

I'll admit I'm one of those people who have a cupboard full of 'one day I'll use this' items. Laura and Jenny have built a creative life around exactly that instinct, proving those odds and ends still have real value.

In this episode it's late in November and I'm at a Christmas wreath-making workshop using only scrap materials.

Laura and Jenny were an absolute delight to get to know. They talk openly about how their brains work together – Jenny's quick-fire ADHD thinking alongside Laura's slower processing, shaped by a brain injury, epilepsy and MS. The balance has become their "dream team" superpower and where making something with your hands genuinely helps both of them feel more settled and capable.

Expect stories about turning duvet covers into art, wreath bases traced around ceiling lights, unexpected problem-solving, and why "happy accidents" are half the fun. It's a warm, funny and practical look at the joy of making – and a reminder that the things we hide in our cupboards might be exactly what we need to start creating.
