Workshops and Groups


 Creativity and relaxation groups

 

 

"Creativity is the ability to challenge, question and explore. It involves taking risks, playing with ideas, keeping an open mind and making connections where none are obvious".

Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood

                                                                        

Creativity is about expressing ourselves, using our imagination, trying new things, and new ways of being.   Everyone is capable of this, we all have different ways that we express our creativity, you don’t have to be good at art.  Music, drama, art, craft, dance, writing, poetry, songs are the ways we often think of creativity, but thinking creatively can also be useful in science, business, maths and cooking.
