Creative Wellbeing
I provide everything needed to step away from the noise and sink into a restorative, creative headspace.
Painting Your Feelings
A gentle 2.5-hour session using paint to express emotion rather than depict a scene. No experience needed, just an open mind. Groups of 6–8.
Making a Colour Wheel
A calming, hands-on 2-hour introduction to colour mixing, ideal for anxious beginners or anyone wanting a structured, meditative start. Groups of 8–10.
A weekly 2-hour course building a sustainable, low-pressure creative habit. Participants keep their sketchbook and a toolkit of ideas to continue independently. Groups of 6–8.
