You don’t have to be “good at art” for it to be good for you.

‌And I think this is where most people get it wrong.

They assume creativity only “counts” if they have something to show for it.

If they’re not “naturally talented”, then why even bother?

But that turns it into something else entirely.
Another place to perform.
Another place to evaluate yourself.

And that’s not what this is for.

Creating (especially with something as tactile as soft pastel) does something different.

It slows your mind down.
It gives your attention somewhere to land.
It lets something move through you instead of constantly taking things in.

That’s why I think creativity is one of the most underutilized forms of wellness!

Creating gives back to you in ways that will change everything.

🖌🎨🙂Fantastic art for wellbeing class Esquires Coffee Sudbury today

✨We created Neurographic art hands, we drew round one of our hands with a black marker pen and then drew wiggly lines going through the hands. Every part where a line crossed we curved this out to soften the lines which work on the neurons in your brain and calm them down.

✨This had a great effect on our mood and wellbeing. The process of drawing out lines and curving them and then using contrasting colours to colour our hand in and background really focuses your brain to go with the flow 🪷

🖌🎨✨Classes are normally run every Tuesday 10 till 12 coffee, Sudbury but for one week only next weeks class we be run on Thursday 9th April at the usual time of 10 till 12. £12 a class which includes all materials and guidance.

🌸🌺🌹🌷🌻🌼A lovely painting flowers workshop at The Christopher Centre Sudbury today🌺 Thanks to everyone who came along 🙏😊

🌸We painted simple flower shapes not thinking too much about the outcome as each part dried we added the centre and the stems and leaves. When everything had dried we went over with a black pen to add definition🌼

🌺a lovely relaxing couple of hours painting, connecting and chatting in a safe space where it’s not about perfection but the process of creating 🖌🎨

✨I run Saturday monthly classes at The Christopher Centre 10 till 12. Next class is Saturday 25th April, all materials, guidance and refreshments are included £22.50 a class
