You pick a seat\, settle in\, and start creating. \nSome people follow a guided prompt or ask for assistance to get started. Some bring their own project. Some just doodle and see what happens. \nThis open studio runs twice a month and is designed for anyone who wants a creative\, screen-free way to start their weekend. Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or you’re a practising artist looking for community\, you’re welcome here. \nWhat’s included: \n\nAll art materials (painting\, drawing\, mixed media etc.)\nOptional guided creative prompts\nA warm\, relaxed space facilitated by an Art Therapist (Hanna Verhagen\, MC\, DVATI\, BA\, CCC)\nTea and soft music\nNo art experience needed.\nSmall group – limited capacity\n\nThis is a great first step if you’re curious about using art therapeutically or just want a meaningful way to spend your Friday night.
