Art therapy is a type of psychoanalytic therapy that uses art making as a way to connect and express different emotions that are sometimes difficult to explain or name. All sessions will be half art making and half time for discussion, where everyone is welcome to speak about their work in a safe, confidential space. All artworks created will be your own, and you are welcome to take your work home with you at the end of every session.

This session is:

-November 13th, Wednesday at 10:30-12:00.

Collage – You are welcome to cut and paste, creating your own imagery from pieces of magazines, artbooks, and other images you may like to bring in yourself. This is a mixed-media workshop, meaning there will be plenty of materials to use in your collage. Painting, pencils, and markers can be used as well as you paste your pieces. Everything is provided, but feel free to bring in your own material to cut up as well.
