Art Raft provides weekly, 90-minute creative sessions for people (18+) to socialise, nurture their wellbeing, and explore their creativity in a supportive environment. 

Delivered in 10 - week blocks, the small sessions are client-led, giving each participant the space to socialise and explore their own creativity, at their own pace, in their own way. 

Sessions can include drawing, collage, painting, poetry, stories and a range of other creative activities.  We end each session with tea, coffee and biscuits.

Each session is facilitated by artist Melinda Schwakhofer who has a background in Counselling Psychology and a deep interest in the positive influence of creativity on mental health.

We ask a £10 donation, or sliding scale depending on what you can afford. All materials and refreshments provided. Sessions from 10:30am - 12:00pm
