It’s a limbering up for those who’ve done some life drawing, and a great…
Dreaming & making session A gentle introspective process to listen carefully to the song the world sings to you. It’s a visual and movement based process, but I couldn’t resist the music metaphor. We walk around with so much in our heads most of the time that we can miss the obvious – a…

Dreaming & making session Hansel and Gretel wandered into the heart of a forest where a wicked witch lived, leaving a fragile trail to find their way back again.

Dreaming & making session Moving through life we fold and unfold. Some things we choose to close and wrap, other aspects of our inner lives keep opening and unfolding. …And then there are those things that are under wraps, that are painfully open. A creative and meditative arts workshop, we’ll explore these questions very gently,…
creative grief The festive season is especially hard when you are grieving. If you are feeling tender and sore, the Christmas/New Year period can open a deep well of emotion and leave no space to process it. We’re all supposed to be in party mode, relaxing and having fun. Here is a chance to express…
Do you avoid drawing hands and feet in your life drawings for fear of ‘spoiling’ the drawing? Our hands and feet each contain nearly 30 bones and over a hundred muscles, tendons and ligaments. What amazing structures they are! No wonder they are hard to draw. Would you like to learn an approach to drawing…
