Look Around the Garden

Look Around the Garden – Free Creative Wellbeing Sessions At Art for Wellness CIC, we love working with local partners, including community gardens, community centres, libraries, wellness groups, and wellbeing charities. These collaborations help us reach a wide range of adults and ensure our sessions are welcoming, inclusive, and easy to access. We’re excited to launch our “Look Around the Garden” programme for 2026–2027, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, taking place across Barnsley and Penistone. Each workshop offers a friendly, small-group setting with around 12 places available, creating a calm and supportive environment where everyone can feel comfortable. The sessions are designed for adults who would like to improve their wellbeing, reduce stress, and build confidence through creativity. Every session is led by two experienced artists and includes a range of relaxing creative activities such as: Painting Mixed media art Embroidery and textile work Seasonal sensory activities inspired by nature You don’t need any art experience — just a willingness to try something new and enjoy time in a supportive, creative space. Our workshops bring people together to relax, create, and connect, helping participants feel part of a welcoming community. Many people who attend tell us they leave feeling calmer, more positive, and more motivated.
