Discover Art Therapy
Thinking about studying art therapy, or simply curious to experience it for yourself? Join us for a relaxed 4-week introduction at Arts for Health.
You’ll work alongside our Arts Therapist, Eve, as you explore how art-making can support wellbeing, self-understanding, and connection with others. Each week offers a new creative focus and the chance to experiment with different materials in a friendly, supportive setting.
These workshops are ideal for adults who want to:
- Learn what art therapy is and how it works
- Meet like-minded people
- Enjoy creative time for personal growth and fun
- All materials are supplied. No art experience needed – just curiosity.
This is a gentle taster series, with the option to join a longer workshop in the new year.

Poll: Have you ever had a Healthy Homes inspection done where you live?
Conflicting Healthy Homes inspection reports are raising concerns about the consistency of standards meant to ensure rental properties are safe and liveable.
In one recent case, a Cambridge rental property underwent two inspections within a week, with significantly different outcomes. The first, arranged by tenant Sara Lewis, identified multiple issues including mould, vermin, and ventilation concerns. A second inspection, arranged by property managers Harcourts, just six days later, found little to criticise.
Have you ever had a Healthy Homes inspection done where you live? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
