Recovery College Art Workshops

Engaging in creative activity can lighten your mood, help express blocked feelings, and enable you to access a state of ‘creative flow’ which calms the mind and gives you time out from difficult thoughts and feelings. This course includes a series of fun exercises experimenting with different art techniques (drawing, collage, etc.). Learn to look at things in a creative way and practise different methods for expressing oneself.
