Creative Health & Wellbeing Workshops

Health & Wellbeing Workshops are modelled on previous sessions we have delivered in the community, making use of existing equipment and supplies from our creative surplus, so as to further "reduce-reuse-recycle".  They are intended to be friendly and enjoyable, a chance for some creative 'me-time' or team-building, rather than pressure to make a wonderful 'thing'.

Mindful Art Journaling

With a registered, qualified Art Therapist

You’ll be given all the materials and guidance needed.  You'll work in a mindful way to create a piece of art and writing based on how you’re feeling in the present moment. The session will include mindful breathing exercises, a discussion on what being mindful means, the practical activity and an opportunity to share in a safe and non-judgemental space.

Virtual Reality for Wellbeing

With a registered, qualified Art Therapist

This is great fun!  Ever tried Virtual Reality (VR)?  We've got our own headsets from a previous project we ran with community groups and residential homes.  You’ll use VR for around 15-20 minutes in a safe and guided session, trying an app called ‘Multibrush’ that allows you to ‘paint’ in 3D all around yourself. Full instructions will be given and the session will be led by a qualified Art Therapist and Tutor.

Wreath Making for all Seasons

Wreaths aren't just for Christmas!  You’ll use scraps of material to create a colourful wreath, according to season, occasion, your favourite colour-scheme etc.  Full guidance will be provided by a Tutor.

Bracelet Making

All materials will be supplied to create beautiful bracelets using, for example, semi-precious stones, shell beads, coral beads and pearls etc. Enjoy time-out in a creative session and come away with your own handmade bracelet(s).
