Reduce Stress, Build Confidence

The hospice is offering public Art for Wellbeing classes in drawing and painting. These classes take place in our Art Room set in beautiful surroundings and are facilitated by one of the dedicated artists from the hospice’s Creative Arts Service.  

The Arts Service at the hospice has a long-established creative approach in delivering high quality art sessions for patients, carers, and family members. 

Art making has been proven to reduce stress, build confidence, offer a sense of fulfilment and happiness, and to help improve general wellbeing. Being creative helps us to feel connected - to ourselves, the wider world and to others. 

Develop your own Art

In the Art for Wellbeing classes, you will have access to a range of quality art materials and will be supported in developing your own art practice, emphasising creating a relaxing and supportive experience that supports wellbeing. Sessions are tailored to each individual and are suitable for complete beginners and those with more experience.
