Make a gem art bookmark: online session for war widows, defence and veteran families
Join us online on 11 September 2025 for a relaxing gem art session where you’ll be guided step-by-step in creating your own sparkling bookmark. Open to war widows, defence and veteran families, this is a chance to get creative and connect with others in a supportive, welcoming space.
This activity is part of our Wellbeing Program and supports self-care through creativity and shared experience.
Gem art session
War widows, defence and veteran families are invited to come together for a gem art session. Facilitated by Social Workers, Gabby Steel and Hayley Lam, veteran families will be guided step-by-step to create their own unique gem art bookmarks in a relaxed online session. It will be a great opportunity to connect, share, and enjoy meaningful time with others in the veteran community.
Please note: The gem art is not for children under 3 years as it is a choking hazard. It contains small parts.
There is no cost for this event. Your gem art kit and postage will be covered by Families of Veterans Guild.
Previous attendees to Wellbeing activities said “I just wanted to express my gratitude for being able to connect with such a wonderful group. It was such a great opportunity to do a self-care activity and get to know some of the other attendees at the same time.”
