Description

This relaxing and welcoming session is a chance to try out simple art activities while focusing on your wellbeing. You don't need any art experience — just come along as you are.

During the session, you'll explore gentle, creative activities designed to help reduce stress, lift your mood, and bring a sense of calm. It's not about creating a perfect piece of art, but about enjoying the process, taking some time for yourself, and connecting with others in a supportive environment.

Your tutor will guide you step-by-step, making it easy to take part and discover how creativity can support your mental wellbeing.

This taster session is a lovely way to try something new, relax, and see if you'd like to continue onto the full course.

Come along and take some time for yourself through art.
