Workshops
What we do
Through art and conversation, participants are encouraged to express and share stories, develop language skills, create friendships and make positive connections between the past and hopes for the future.
Working with a range of art materials, the group is guided in telling stories and expressing emotions through drawing, painting and text. Participants enjoy expanding their expressive language and creating some lovely artwork to take away.

Art for Anyone
Working in mixed media, I am currently exploring ways to maximise my aptitude for colour, pattern and layering in response to music and rhythm.
