Slow down, look and connect in these creative sessions at The Hepworth Wakefield.
Join us in the galleries to spend time with different artworks each month. Get to know the shapes, marks, colours and textures through guided looking and drawing exercises. No previous experience or art knowledge required.
For part of the session, our friendly team will welcome you into the learning studio for a relaxed and informal creative activity where you can work independently or connect with other members of the group.
Art can help us to feel well and explore our feelings, Artworks often embody an emotion, experience or story that might be difficult to understand or express with words. Art also helps us to understand different experiences and connect to others. Making and looking at art can help develop wellbeing skills such as mindfulness.
