UCLCSSA Charity Dept X Arts For Mental Health
In this workshop, we'll start with icebreaking games to help everyone get acquainted. You'll then take part in a thoughtful process of writing down your joys and challenges from 2023. This will be followed by the symbolic act of shredding these notes, representing the release of past burdens and the appreciation of positive memories. The shredded paper will then be transformed into raw material for you to create new, handmade paper—symbolising new beginnings. We'll also provide additional materials such as pigments and dried flowers, allowing you to personalise your hand-made paper.
After the workshop, your crafted paper will undergo a drying process and be prepared for you to collect at a follow-up session (scheduled for 1-2 weeks later, date to be determined). This session will be complemented by snacks and drinks, creating a time for you to socialise and share experiences.
Free entry, no previous experience is required for this workshop, and all materials will be provided.
