Feeling pressured by a hectic world, try Art Therapy – It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings, find focus and relief.

Testimonials
Jacqui made me feel comfortable right from the get-go. Being in a group; of strangers is always daunting but I found it comforting that she facilitated space for us all to have our own views and feel respected whilst being respectful of others. The workshop reminded me how much I loved clay but also the parallel between life and clay work; that being that the original idea for clay work evolves, if we allow it, as we work with it. Much like life really. Interesting the main benefits for me came after the workshop. Over the next following weeks and perhaps more time to reflect, I found myself reconnecting with myself and the things that no longer served me well, a spring clean for the soul if you like. As a result of an extended period of chaos and unhappy events I had lost that connection.
So thankyou Jacqui for making that possible.
What I enjoyed most about the painting workshops was the skills I learnt and friendly atmosphere. Jacqui made me feel comfortable, I felt supported and safe to express my own individuality, as well as loved. Working with others was a fun way to share and collaborate our ideas.
Jacqui is able to provide guidance and encouragement without judgement and is able to rework a program to suit the flow of her students. Through Jacqui’s workshops I have gained a deeper understanding of freedom in creativity.
