Online – Fine Art to Wellbeing

FINE ART TO WELLBEING – Online
a free 6-week online creative self-development course for adults struggling with stress, anxiety and depression. To enrol you must be 18+ and living in Warwickshire.

Level of difficulty:  advanced
The course is designed for people who have already completed one Art for Wellbeing course with us, and for those who are now looking to further develop their self-awareness and creative thinking skills.

We think about creativity as making something new and original, but in fact the root meaning of creativity means ‘to grow’.
