Art for soothing & strengthening will provide women with skills, support and encouragement to create.  Women who have attended previous groups I run tell me that creating art as part of a community makes them feel relaxed, less anxious, happy and creative, and more able to manage the ups and downs of life.  The groups are small – maximum of nine members.

Le Studio is a warehouse converted into a creative space.
