Tutor - Nadia Drizi

Mondays, 6pm-8.30pm | 5 weeks

Starts Monday 22 February 2027

Join Nadia Drizi, a qualified Arts Therapist, for a five-week wellbeing group that invites you to be playful, curious and experimental. The sessions will focus on the process of making, letting go of expectations and embracing the pleasure of being creative in the moment.

Each week, we’ll explore a different aspect of the Five Ways to Wellbeing through creative activities that are playful, expressive, tactile, soothing, rhythmic and sensory. Using a range of fine art mediums, from sculpting and printmaking to painting, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with different materials, engage your senses and discover new ways of expressing yourself. These sessions offer a gentle, welcoming space to slow down, connect with yourself and others, and explore wellbeing through creativity. There’s no need for any previous art experience just come as you are!

Nadia has been a qualified art therapist since 2014, with 7 years experience delivering wellbeing work with individuals and groups. She is currently in the final year of a three-year training in Counselling and Psychotherapy, further developing skills in supporting emotional wellbeing and personal growth.
She has 15 years experience working across the NHS and voluntary sector, supporting individuals and groups in a variety of settings, including community services, hospitals, community adult mental health and substance misuse. Her approach is warm and supportive and person centred, creating a safe and welcoming space for all.

All materials provided, though you are welcome to bring along some inspiration imagery. Please wear clothes suitable for a studio environment and bring a bag or portfolio suitable for taking work home with you after the sessions.
