Group Workshops

Coming this September I will be running 6 weekly recurring therapeutic art workshops online.

The wellbeing sessions are ‘drop in’ so there is no pressure to join the entire series but you will find joining each one connects to the previous.

The workshop is designed for anyone looking to slow down, take a breath, relax, unwind and play using art materials in a safe, non-judgemental and supportive space.

The focus is on the creative process not on the end result.

This is not a session about talent or showing your skills – it’s about using different and varied art materials and tools for mark-making and becoming present in a flow-state.

You will experience magic happens during the process of art-making, in the doing.

Sessions are led by St Albans based Artist and Therapeutic Art Facilitator, Patricia Green.

– No experience in art is necessary

– You will be guided and prepared about the session theme and the art materials that you need before each session.

ABOUT ME

I am a practicing Artist/Art Therapist in training, Art Facilitator and coach based in St. Albans, England.

I am passionate about the power of art to heal, nurture, grow and support our wellbeing and mental health.

Art is a powerful tool that enables us to identify our missing pieces, unspoken pain and our needs and desires in order to grow, move forward and thrive.

At present, I am particularly interested in three areas:

1. The benefits (healing, transformation, effecting emotional change, building self-esteem, management of grief and depression, helping people overcome addiction)

2. The creative, therapeutic process (cathartic release, spontaneous messy art with no judgement, a safe, contained space in which to practice) and

3. Community art (working within communities to effect change both on an individual and group level for example supporting refugees, career changers, the unemployed, divorcees, people with learning disabilities, teenagers and empowering women).

*Most recently, I have worked with special needs children, children with mild to severe Autism, children in summer camps, the elderly in residential domiciliary care, people experiencing anxiety and depression and those suffering with grief and loss.

*I currently live in Barbados with my partner and two working cocker spaniels George and Mildred and soon relocating to St. Albans, Hertfordshire.

*I work intuitively and swiftly – art is very much about ‘the process’ for me. I use an abundance of materials including: mixed media, alcohol inks, acrylics, oil pastels, soft pastels, watercolour, gold-leaf, collage and digital art to create colourful inspiring art.

~My mission is to show people in my community how creativity can help them heal, create joy and peace and enable them to manifest their desires ~

~ I look forward to meeting with you and connecting in September ~
