Explore Drawing, Painting, Claywork and even Photography for self expression, self discovery and self healing. This small, informal group will have a maximum of 4 participants, and is being offered as a taster art workshop for a weekly course starting in October or weekend art workshops run throughout the year.

We will explore Art and Meditation using simple Mindfulness, Colour and Feeling, Art and Relaxation, Art Journalling, Mandala Painting and accessing starting points for art activities using guided visualisation. Use of materials will be taught as an integral part of the activities, and basic art materials are included in the cost.

Previous art experience, talent or genius is definitely not needed, and everyone is welcome!
