The Art and Nature for Wellbeing course offers a welcoming, relaxed, and supportive environment where students engage in artmaking using a variety of materials and resources found in nature to explore creative techniques to learn new creative skills. By the end of the course, students will have gained a deeper understanding of how nature, art and creativity contribute to well-being, along with enhanced skills, confidence, and greater knowledge of materials, techniques and processes inspired by or made in nature.
