I've been doing the class for about 5 years, I made an Elephant and a Dolphin, everybody can do something it doesn't need to be complicated. I think the companionship is very important, we all have a good laugh I live alone so it's very important.
I like to use my hands, I like to keep my brain active but also it's good for the environment. It's good for the soul, there's also a social element to it.
I've always done something over the years with gaps in between and it's just nice to learn something new. You're never to old to learn something new.
