Art for Wellbeing

We are excited to present our Art for Wellbeing series, designed to enhance your creativity through the beauty of nature!

Join us for a series of inspiring sessions where you will have the opportunity to explore your artistic talents! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this event is perfect for anyone looking to connect with nature and improve their wellbeing through art.

We are delighted to have the well know local ‘art for wellbeing’ workshop facilitator Virginia Hawke. She is an experienced and talented teacher bringing confidence to the beginner and wise affirmation to the more experienced artist. Virginia or ‘Ginny’ as we know her has set many promising artists on their path of self-discovery, learning and professionalism that they never thought they had.

We'll meet at The St James Garden room, part of The Royal Foundation of St Katharine, a Retreat, Conference Centre in the heart of East London.
