Come to this interactive workshop where we provide the inspiration and you bring the creativity. Write, paint, sketch, craft, stitch, crochet, photograph and pursue any hobby that you fancy. This is an open creative space for one and all, especially curious beginners.
Workshops are facilitated by creative practitioner and poet Sree Sen. She will give you a prompt at the beginning of the session, and you can express yourself in any medium you like.
These are not structured workshops so you are welcome to join in or leave when it suits you. The idea is to build an engaged community sharing their interests in various ways. Sree hopes this workshop will encourage people to unwind and increase wellbeing through creativity in a relaxed space. We will provide the following items for use: A4 papers, pencils, charcoal pencils, colour pencils, sketching pens, water colours, brushes, yarn, and knitting needles.
Bring anything else with you.
