"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it." --Kurt Vonnegut
Crafting Gives Greater Life Satisfaction, Survey Finds
Arts and crafts have long been recommended for improving mental health. New research suggests that everyone could benefit from creative projects such as painting, pottery, and photography. The studies “revealed that people who engaged with creating arts and crafting had greater ratings for happiness, life satisfaction and feeling that life was worthwhile than those who did not…” Researchers recommend arts and crafts as a way to improve public health, and say that “backing such activities would offer a simpler route for governments to improve the nation’s wellbeing than other factors that are known to have a big effect.”
