The Art of Attachment
The Art of Attachment
I ran six weekly workshops for the Towner Gallery in connection with The Art of Attachment - an arts based project led by local substance misuse charity, Brighton Oasis Project.
We looked at connecting to the individual creative process and the benefits of that as a way to express difficult emotions, to give an alternative to 'talking’ and also to relax and be playful.
Through poetry, printmaking, painting and drawing, sessions explored creative choice making, relationships between image and text, sensory connection and memory.
A green and Pleasant Land
Working with Adults at Recovery college. I ran three 6 week projects on Drawing, painting and printmaking focusing on mental health and recovery. Students created work in response to the exhibition and we worked on creating an environment that allowed creative expression, exploration, using fun, relaxing, sensory exercises and simple techniques, relating to improved wellbeing as well as creative skills and development.
