Taff Rocks gift cards

 

Wait? What? Did we say "Gift Cards" ????

They are an excellent way to gift someone that Mandala Class they've always wanted to attend, or that workshop that all the little ones want to come to too.

Be a Taff Rocks hero!

Taff Rocks are looking for like-minded supporters to help with fundraising activities.

Our reservation system explained

Since some restrictions have been lifted allowing the Taff Rocks Community Workshops to re-open, we have needed to implement an advanced booking / reservation system. However, there has been some confusion over this and we hope this post will better explain it for everyone.

This information is related to the Free-Style Community Rocks Painting Workshops (eg. Taff Rocks Tuesday) and not classes and seminars where reservations can only be made for one person on one reservation.

Mindfulness Mandala Poll

Taff Rocks needs your input.

We are looking to run Mindfulness Mandala Classes in the Merthyr Tydfil area. To trial, we are first looking at Aberfan and Troedyrhiw areas for adults only.

Workshops are re-opening!

Taff Rocks are overjoyed to announce that our community-based rock painting workshops are re-opening!

Our first workshop, two in one day, will be held at St. John's Ambulance Hall, Nixonville, Merthyr Vale on the Spring Bank Holiday Monday, 31st May.

We've entered the world of TikTok!

In addition to our already growing social media presence, we have entered the world of TikTok. 

At the time of writing, the trustee responsible for social media has absolutely no idea how to use it so, please, bear with us.

Preparing to re-start workshops - Stage 1

Taff Rocks are almost prepared to re-start workshops. We have been working hard behind the scenes to prepare as much as possible to prevent any delays. The re-opening will be a staged process for us ...

Our Third Trading Post

Our third trading post has not gone without its 'issues'.  It was due for installation in the summer of 2020 but, alas, 2020 was cancelled for everyone! 

But, we have overcome so many obstacles and are pretty much there!

Forget-Me-Not Memorial Project

This last year has been a testing time for many of us, it has also been a time of tragedy for many of us too. We have missed so many people and lost too many!

To celebrate the lives of those we have lost, Taff Rocks is preparing a Forget-Me-Not 'project'.

DIY Graphite Carbon Paper Method

Have you ever wanted to create a piece of art on a rock that you've seen online or in a book? Have you ever thought that you could not do a piece of work justice because you can't 'get it right'? 

Well, worry no more! This 'old school' DIY graphite carbon paper method will work wonders in most situations.

Thank you so very much!

Knowing the way we share our festive gifts in 2020 was going to be vastly different, Taff Rocks, as part of their "reuse and recycle" initiative, felt it was a great time to ask you to gift us something you might not want.
