In a warm and welcoming environment, participants are guided in exploring and experimenting with a range of art materials and techniques. We focus on a fun and healthy mix of still life drawing and free abstract painting and collage, where imagination and expression are encouraged. The process of making and being in the moment are most important. However, everyone manages to complete something beautiful to take away with them at the end of each session.
Adult individuals (14 years +), family, friends and carers affected by or recovering from mental health challenges.
