In all of these options we will guide you along with exploration and working in various media to unlock your unique thinking ! Lots of media and techniques - drawing, painting, craft mixed media, illustrating to a theme, using symbols, and lots more. Everybody's art is special and this is a chance to just enjoy the journey without stressing - or feel you have to 'copy' to 'get it right'. Photocopiers do that better, so why bother ? We aim to help participants grow and unlock new creative pathways and it's good for your HEART and your BRAIN !
