✨✨Thought I would write another little introduction post and about why I decided to start running Art for Well-being classes and helping others find their voice and support their emotions through creativity.

✨Twelve years ago I was in a very dark place and ended up being hospitalised, not only was I physically unwell but I was also mentally unwell and although I got help with the physical side, the mental side was a lot harder to get help with so I had to search for my own way of healing which included therapy and creativity.

✨I’ve always been creative since I was small and also having a vivid imagination. I was fascinated by the mythical, mystical and fairy tales. It was a little space for me to escape to where I felt safe and calm. This is also how I feel when I am creating, it’s my sanctuary, my salvation. This became more apparent to me when I got ill how much I need creativity and use it in everyday life and how much it has helped me with my feelings and to express myself ✨

✨Art is healing, therapeutic, calming and focuses your mind on things outside of yourself and your surroundings.
Through art you can be whoever you want to be. You can create your own world and make it unique to you.
🧚‍♀️🌸✨
✨I found my own art style through the art I make Kooky Art by Lia and also undertook courses in Therapeutic art to help others and that’s how running my Art for wellbeing classes came about as I know the benefits of creativity.

My classes are run in a calm space where we work on a subject or style of creativity together. There is no judgement and you do not need to be artistically gifted, it’s not about the finished product but the process of creating.

✨✨
I can also work 1:1 with all age groups and can also work with organisations and run a workshop.
I have an enhanced dbs and insurance.

✨Regular classes are run:

Art for Wellbeing Mondays (fortnightly)Lounge&Garden Bury St Edmunds 11 till 12.30 £14 includes guidance and all materials.

💚Mental Health Awareness Week💚

Lia's Art for Wellbeing

Here’s another post about my Art for Well-being Classes and how they can help your mental health and overall general wellbeing

🖌🎨My art for well-being classes and workshops are designed to give people a safe, welcoming space to slow down, switch off from daily pressures and reconnect with themselves through creativity.
A place to be yourself and create freely, you do not need to be “good at art”.
The focus is always on the process, the mindfulness and the therapeutic nature art brings to us 🌸

🖌🎨Creating art can reduce stress, ease anxiety, build confidence and encourage us to focus on something. It’s also a great way to connect with others like minded people, share experiences and feel part of a little community without judgement 🍃

✨In a world that often feels overwhelming and too busy, taking the time to create can be a powerful tool as a way of healing ❤️‍🩹
Whether it’s painting, drawing, collage, mixed media or simply experimenting with colour and shape, art gives us a chance to breathe, reflect and be in the moment.

💚Mental health matters everyday and creativity is such an important part in helping support your wellbeing 🌷

✨I’m based in Sudbury, Suffolk and I offer welcoming and supportive Art for Wellbeing Classes that focus on the process of creating rather than the outcome.

✨If your interested in coming along to any of my classes or wish to book a 1:1 class or you would like me to hold a class at your company or establishment please do not hesitate to send me a message 🙂

💚On this Mental Health Awareness Week I just wanted to give a big appreciation post thanking all those who support my little business (I couldn’t tag you all, sorry!) whether that’s by coming to my classes, sharing my posts, recommendations or any other way you support me, I am very grateful to you all 🙏

💚My main passion is creating art and showing others via my classes and workshops how this can support your mental health and how creativity can be used as a great tool for this. I’m so glad to hear the feedback from my regular attendees who tell me how much my classes have helped them and also given them more confidence in their own unique creations 🖌🎨

💚Not only have my classes helped others but your feedback and support and the friendships made have also helped my own mental health 🙏

💚I’ve always aimed to keep my classes open to all ages, abilities and to create classes that feel welcoming, safe and non judgemental.
I believe wholeheartedly that art is for everyone and that it is a vital part in enriching our lives for the better.

💚 In my classes I’m very much about bringing out your own personality and uniqueness in your creativity, it’s not about creating the perfect piece, it’s very much about the process, how it makes you feel and finding a way to express yourself when you can’t find the words.

💚Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

This Mental Health Awareness Week, I want to talk about the power of creativity and the importance of how it helps you to connect to yourself and others.

✨My art for wellbeing classes and workshops are designed to give people a safe, welcoming space to slow down, switch off from the outside world and reconnect with themselves through creativity.
A safe space to be yourself and create freely, you do not need to be “good at art”.
The focus is on the process, the mindfulness and the therapeutic nature art brings to us 🖌🎨

🖌🎨Creating art can help reduce stress, ease anxiety, build confidence and give us a focus outside of ourselves. It’s also a great way to connect with other like minded people, share experiences and feel part of a little community without judgement.

💚In a world that often feels overwhelming, competitive and too busy, taking the time to create can be a powerful tool to healing.
Whether it’s painting, drawing, collage, mixed media or simply experimenting with colour, texture and shape, art gives us a chance to breathe, reflect and be in the moment 😌

💚Mental health matters everyday and creativity is such an important tool in helping to support your overall wellbeing.
