May 11 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Art therapy is an established form of psychological therapy delivered by trained art therapists / art psychotherapists. It’s designed to help anyone, including those whose life has been affected by adverse experiences, illness or disability, by supporting their social, emotional and mental health needs.

Art therapy can be used by anyone of any cultural background and age (infants and parents, children, young people, adults and older people). Participants are usually interested in what creativity and imagination can offer, but do not need any previous experience in making art.

This is the second workshop so you can come along as someone who learnt some skills in March 2022 or as someone new to the discipline. Sarah will cover new, exciting techniques.

You will get an introduction to this discipline, and the aim is for you to use basic techniques to use with your classes/groups. We have chosen a central location in Inverness - the Ness Islands which are easy to get to by public transport. We will meet in the centre of the islands, in the grass area which has a large stone seating area. It was the location of a former bandstand.

You won't become an art therapist from coming to this workshop, but Sarah who is also a teacher and artist herself, will give you some skills to use techniques that you can use with your classes/groups
