- String Art

Mary Everest Boole invented string art at the end of the 19th century to make mathematical ideas accessible to students. In the late 1960s, it was popularised as a decorative craft through kits and books.

Any art and craft works give everyone a sense of achievement and allow them to take pride in their efficient work, which builds CONFIDENCE. We get to try new things and also develop their “self-regulation skills” (e.g. when waiting for fixing to complete the nails, threading, painting, glue to dry, and final designs to come). This helps to develop PATIENCE, which is all we need. Someone spent time making it by hand instead of just pushing a button and letting a machine do it. So encourage this kind of work for these handmade wooden arts (reducing plastics which gives great pleasure to nature). Crafting gives you happiness, good health, and creativity. If you are happy, healthy and not stressed out as you create, you become more patient, generous and kind to others. Crafting also encourages you to share what you create with others.
