Last Friday most of us embraced the end of summer, nearly all of us ignored the hints of autumn that are appearing, and a couple of us had a sneaky return trip to China. Something for everyone 😉
This is art-for-wellbeing - not a lesson but there's help and guidance if you'd like it and plenty of support. It's about connecting in real life, using your hands and eyes to help your brain to switch over from busy to calm and curious. It's about trying new things without feeling pressure. Enjoying the process without being worried about the end result. And noticing how you do actually feel better afterwards 🥰
It's 9-11am (ish) nearly every Friday morning at Art & Grind café, Guildford High St.
It's only £15 for adults and £10 for accompanied children. This includes all art materials although you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
We ask that you buy a drink, treat or breakfast (there's plenty of healthy and indulgent options) from the café. You can also sign up to their loyalty scheme and get £5 off anything in the café (they sell art, gifts and art supplies too) when you have enough points
You don't need to commit to anything, just let me know beforehand if you'd like to join us (or just turn up if that's easier - I've normally got space and supplies for a couple more) and pay on the day. It's not ideal for me to run it this way but it's about wellbeing - so I designed it to be as stress-free as possible for you.
The mornings are suitable for all abilities - honestly. I teach toddlers, teenagers, adults, complete beginners and professional artists. There's always a choice of things to draw and a choice of art materials to use.
My name is Kate and you can see my artwork here: Kate Alger Artist
I hope to hear from you soon x
