This course will concentrate on mindful artmaking for stress relief and self-care. Making art with others can be a cathartic experience as it facilitates a gentle release of emotions, thoughts, and feelings. The focus of this course is to support connection to one’s self and others. No artistic experience or art skills are necessary.
