Exploring Creativity Through Soft Pastel
Soft pastel artist Emma Phillips will lead the workshop. Emma draws inspiration from wildlife and the natural world. She will introduce you to the expressive qualities of soft pastel art and guide you through a range of techniques.
You will explore blending, layering and creating texture. You can work at your own pace and experiment with colour and form. Emma will offer guidance throughout the session.
We will provide all materials, and you can take your finished artwork home with you.

- No Experience Needed: You don’t need any previous artistic experience. Simply come along and enjoy exploring the creative process.
- A Supportive Space: Take part at your own pace in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Spend time with others who understand the experience of suicide loss.
A Gentle Space to Pause and Connect
Creative activities can offer a lovely way to slow down, focus on the present moment and take some time for yourself. Working with colour and texture can help you step away from everyday pressures and enjoy the simple process of creating.
The workshop also gives you a chance to meet others who have experienced suicide loss. You can chat and connect with others, or simply enjoy the creative activity at your own pace.
Complimentary refreshments will be served on arrival, with sandwiches provided at the end of the workshop.
Places are limited, so early registration is recommended.
