Catching Breath: A Mindful Hour of Art and Breath
In this art workshop, Jayne Wilton will explore the
notions of the containment of breath in art history, and you will make your own
breath visible using watercolours created from tea or coffee.
Now more than ever, we need to take care of our
mental health and wellbeing, and so Jayne will also guide you through mindful
breathing processes and the expressive qualities of the breath.
No previous experience or knowledge needed to take
part.
You will be emailed the Zoom dial in details on
Tuesday 01 September.
