About this event

  • 3 hours

The aim of this course is for you to explore how applying mindful techniques to our creative activities can calm our minds. You will learn how some famous artists linked their creativity to their recovery of mental illness, using their art to express emotions that cannot be spoken or written down.

The course will include a brief introduction to artistic techniques and mediums such as pens, pencils and charcoal, and show you how they could be used in your own exploration of creativity.

Level of participation: No artistic experience is needed for this course, everyone is welcome. You will have an opportunity to use mediums to explore your own creativity.
