Inner Self Art Classes
I teach art classes that work with emotions and symbolism to help us reflect on our own inner worlds.
Within these art classes we work on sketchbooks and artwork that reflect on our lives, our life events and our current and past emotions. The work we create is very therapeutic in nature and can be helpful for people in all walks of life, including children and adults. These classes are suited to individual work and small group work.
Please note these classes are not Art therapy, but instead are therapeutic art sessions that deal with symbolism, emotions and our inner worlds. They are inspired by artists that used art to help themselves make sense of their own lives, for instance. Frida Karlo and many of the surrealist artists such as Max Ernst, as well as many modern artists.
As a trainee art therapist at Chester university, I am studying to become a professional Art therapist.
I volunteer locally on placement as part of my university course. Whilst my Art therapy studies are deeply affecting my artistic work as an artist, a practitioner and a teacher, the therapeutic art classes I offer are NOT art therapy.
Art therapy is a protected and registered profession and service. Registered Art therapists can be found at the BAAT.
