SHED Art Club

Join award winning artist Donna Brewins-Cook for a monthly relaxing, friendly, mindful art club that will SHED the work blues and stresses of the day!

The sessions will include mindful drawing and breathing to start (about 10 mins), a presentation on a famous artist, art movement or theme, and then longer personal creative time to create a drawing, collage or painting inspired by the monthly theme(s).

*A tea break with light refreshments will also be scheduled in to enable you to get to know the other art club attendees.

No previous art or mindful breathing experience is necessary, as Donna will guide you through all the simple mindful art exercises. Donna will also encourage your individualism and creativity to grow with each session.

SHED is an inclusive, welcoming, safe space for all!
