New Horizon resident, Amanda Lopes, founder of Candle Magic Arts and Craft, held a certificate ceremony to award women from the area who graduated from an arts and crafts programme, at the Pelican Park community hall, on Monday August 6.
Ms Lopes said the programme started in May with approximately 13 women, from New Horizon, Pelican Park and Grassy Park.
The women completed the course at the end of July. They were trained in soap-making, bath salts, candle-making, wire beading, paper beading, basic beading, leather works and recycling material.
Ms Lopes said students have to pay a minimal fee for classes. They also receive goodie bags with items they can use to make crafts at home.
Ms Lopes said arts and crafts material, except recycling materials, are very expensive. Anyone who is able to assist them with funds can call Ms Lopes on 073 202 4956 or email lopesamanda941@gmail.com
