Event Details

Mindful Making: Mixed Media Accordion Book Workshop with Nicola Kennell

Saturday 5th July 2025 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
All materials and refreshments provided – just bring your own lunch

Step away from the busyness of daily life and immerse yourself in a day of gentle creativity, self-expression, and calm. In this full-day Wellbeing and Mindful Art Workshop, you’ll be guided by experienced Art Psychotherapist Nicola Kennell to explore art-making as a soothing and restorative practice.

Each participant will be gifted a beautiful accordion book made from handmade paper. Using a rich array of mixed media materials—from paints, pastels, and collage to natural objects and sketching—you’ll create a unique, themed book inspired by your own reflections, emotions, or simply the beauty of the materials around you.

Whether you choose to tell a story, craft a landscape, or follow the flow of the moment, this workshop is about process, not perfection. No previous art experience is needed—just an open mind and a willingness to explore.

You’ll leave the day feeling refreshed, inspired, and more deeply connected to yourself.

Spaces are limited to ensure a calm, supportive environment—early booking is recommended.
Tea, coffee, and snacks will be provided throughout the day. Please bring your own lunch.
