Yew Tree Café event - 'Summer through colour'

Occurring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
Yew Tree Cafe
Address
Yew Tree Cafe, Next to Busbridge Church Hambledon Road,, GU7 1PJ

This summer, we're so lucky to have two wonderful volunteers bringing creativity, warmth and colour into our cafe through their Art Workshops.
Both of them spent many years working in the corporate world, and now, in a new chapter of their life, they are rediscovering themselves through art - and gently helping others to do the same. There is something truly special about being around them.
Their energy is calm, kind and inspiring. The kind of people who make the world feel softer, brighter and a little more beautiful.
These workshops are not about perfection or artistic skills. They are about slowing down, exploring creativity, meeting lovely people and allowing yourself to enjoy the process.
Art has a quiet way of healing us. It helps us to reconnect with ourselves, express emotions without words and bring more colour into everyday life.
Whether you've painted many times before or never picked up a brush - you are warmly welcome.
