About
Artfulness is a therapist-led, closed creative group offering a space to slow down, create and connect with yourself and others through art.
Across four weeks, participants will explore creativity as a way of bringing attention to the present moment, expressing experiences and discovering new perspectives. No previous artistic experience is needed. The focus is not on creating āgoodā art, but on the experience of creating, noticing and sharing.
Each session combines a creative activity with conversation, using carefully selected icebreaker cards to encourage connection and keep conversation flowing naturally alongside the creative process.
What to expect
Week 1 ā Mindful Mark-Making
As participants introduce themselves, they will gently push a stone across the page, allowing it to create unexpected lines and shapes. Once everyone has introduced themselves, the shapes can be explored through colour and decoration, noticing what emerges without needing to create a particular image.
Week 2 ā Pass the Feeling
Begin by painting how you feel in the centre of your page. The artwork is then passed around the group, allowing each participant to add something to one another's work. The evolving pieces become a shared creative experience, offering opportunities to reflect on how something changes as others contribute to it.
Week 3 ā Community Mosaic
Each participant draws their hand onto a shared page, allowing the hands to overlap and intersect. The resulting lines create a mosaic-like pattern which can then be coloured and decorated together, creating a collective piece that represents connection, individuality and community.
Week 4 ā Our Experience
Participants create a free painting inspired by their experience of the group as a whole. Using colour, shape, symbols or imagery, they can express what the group has meant to them and what they are taking away from the experience.
