Working with a range of visual art materials and simple print techniques towards a collaborative piece. --

We are preparing for our next workshop next Saturday!! It's going to be fun!! 🙂
Becoming Trauma Informed in Arts and Wellbeing Practice
Saturday 21st May 10am - 4pm
at The Studio Brighton
We have a few places left ! and a few people have got in touch asking do you need to be an artist to take part? No you don't. The workshops are for those who want to be more informed about therapeutic theory as they work with people around wellbeing . For example this may be of interest to youth workers, artists, teachers, health professionals or anyone interested in exploring wellbeing in a creative way.
The workshops are playful and very inclusive.
Comments from our workshop have been -
'I loved every minute of it. I experienced first-hand the power of the creative arts as a mechanism for self-support and meaningful dialogical encounter. I left the workshop feeling energised. Thank you.'
'The workshop (Therapeutic Communication Using the Arts) was deeply resourcing on both a personal and professional level. It was packed full of learning. Polly and Branwen seamlessly moved between theory and practice; their passion to bridge the gap between arts wellbeing practice and therapy gave the day focus and purpose. Lots packed in; lots to take away and apply. Thank you. '
