ART MAKING FOR ENJOYMENT

5 week group

Saturdays in May (7th May to 4th June) 2022 
1-3pm  

Do you want the opportunity to join an art group that nurtures your creativity?  Maybe you'd like to make changes in your life, or are recovering from an illness or event? Or, do you just want to spend the afternoon making art  and getting to know and like yourself a little better with like minded people in a beautiful and inspirational space?

​

Art Therapy groups and workshops at the Melbourne Art Therapy Studio provide a safe space for you to explore themes that are important to you. You will have the opportunity to use a variety of art materials throughout the sessions to explore, play, discover and delight in the process. You don't have to share your experience with the group if you choose not to, but the opportunity to discuss ideas and thoughts with others is available.
