Weekly Art for Wellbeing Class
Tuesdays 10-11:30am at the Arc With Rebecca Bush

When we engage with Creativity we access a direct path to Wellbeing. The class is suitable for all levels of artistic experience, including complete beginners.

It is designed to develop imagination, and to facilitate positive discussion linked to the theme which is different each week.  All art materials are provided.

The class is devised and led by Artist Rebecca Bush who is on a mission to connect us all with our unique creative spark!
