Therapeutic Art allows those on a weight loss journey to gain insight about themselves, their body, eating habits and their mindset around food.
Through seemingly simple mediums like paint or pencils, people can enhance emotional intelligence by using colours, shapes, and textures to give life to their inner narratives about their bodies and minds.
Hilary has been working closely with the weight-loss community for the last 2 years to develop a unique range of therapeutic art activities to develop well-being in body and mind and support a healthy lifestyle.
These online workshops will now be available on Zoom to all who would like to enjoy using art to explore their own weight loss journey, learn new creative skills and be supported within a like-minded community.
There will also be regional meet ups and Therapeutic Art weekends from her studio in Bewdley in Worcestershire.
Whether you need to lose weight for health, are using a change in diet and lifestyle, trying weight loss injections, or have had, or are considering bariatric surgery, come and join our creative community!
No artistic ability is necessary – just an openness to experiment, use art to fight cravings, and to learn more about yourself and your weight loss journey from the artworks that you make.
Why not join us and surprise yourself with what you create!?
All you need is are coloured pens and paper to get started and make your mark – join us to make artful scribbles and chat. It would be great to begin a sketchbook to record your creative journey.
Over these first three sessions, you will make your own colour wheel and patterned designs and learn about artists who use patterns to make art. No artistic ability is necessary!
Tuesdays 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th January – 7- 8.30pm
Grab some coloured pens, and a piece of paper and go dotty! Felt tip pens and other mark making materials would be great too. You will use meditative marks and repeating rhythms to make colour rich images. Then explore using dots in pen and paint to express yourself and even to depict objects and scenes. Remember that It would be great to use a sketchbook to record your creative journey.
4th, 11th, 18th, 25th February – 7- 8.30pm
Spring is beginning to show signs of new growth and in these workshops, we shall explore new ways of growing. You will use any materials you have to hand to create an image of your own tree, branches, and root system to reflect your own journey and growth.
We shall also explore a wide range of materials to make expressive work that will surprise you and increase your creative skills. Remember to use a sketchbook to record your creative journey and have a variety of paper, pens and perhaps paints to hand.
