Art therapy

Art therapy

In this course you will enter into the gentle yet powerful world of Art Therapy. In a stimulating, fun and supportive group environment, you will creatively explore and express aspects of yourself and your life.

You will be using a range of art materials such as collage, paints, pastels and clay. Art Therapy differs from traditional art in that the emphasis is on the process of creating rather than on the end product - so the focus is on your creative journey and the meaning you make of your creations.

All materials included. This class can be on-going. No previous art experience required.

Maximum enrolment is 8.

Workshop: Art therapy weekend workshop

This is a non-directive workspace designed for creative people to discover and explore their 'stories' through art materials using paint, pastels and clay. A physical, safe space is created to make and talk about images and their meaning.

As James Hillman said of his hope for therapy, a place of... 'lifting repression and bringing to consciousness... of building of doorways, opening conduits and making channels, like a giant bypass operation, throwing in all kinds of new tubing so that things flow into each other.'

This course is fun, positive and energetic. It challenges both your creativity and your perceptions. All materials included. This class can be on-going.

Maximum enrolment is 8.
