Come Connect (1hr workshop) and Lunch&Learn (30mins workshops) will give you a good insight into what we offer and how we run our courses.

Beginners

6-week courses include painting, wool craft, QiGong, botanical art, seasonal crafts, and will give you the foundation skills to your new hobby and will help you better manage your mental health and wellbeing through art.

“I’ve never done so much in art in my life! It’s been the highlight of my week and I have met some lovely people I will stay in touch with.”
(beginners course Oct.’21)

You will develop your creative thinking and practical art skills to ground yourself in your own personal arts practice.  You will enjoy spending ‘me’-time with like-minded people to learn about art history, contemporary artists and their approach to using materials, to drawing, painting, shaping, sculpting, and we will link this to self-development themes to nurture your creative drive to thrive.

Improvers

6-week courses will build your creative skills to express yourself and will improve your understanding of mental health self-help strategies you can develop through your hobby.
