Workshop Testimonial

We were lucky enough to have Andrew host an excellent portrait workshop for clients at Richmond and Wandsworth Community Drug and Alcohol Services. Many participants were new to portraits, so Andrew had a big task ahead. With his artistic skills and guidance everyone was able to finish the session with portraits they were extremely proud of. Andrew took time to work with each participant 1-2-1 to ensure they could get the most out of the workshop. Throughout the session, participants were discussing how beneficial the activity was to keep their minds occupied and focus on something positive, which was a great benefit to their recovery journey. Andrew inspired clients to continue the medium outside of the sessions and we hope to have him back for more workshops in the future.

Practicing drawing and creating art offers numerous health benefits, both mental and physical. Engaging in artistic activities can reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and mindfulness, similar to meditation. It enhances cognitive function by stimulating creativity, improving problem-solving skills, and boosting memory. Art can also serve as a therapeutic outlet for expressing emotions, helping to process difficult experiences and improve overall mental well-being. Additionally, the fine motor skills used in drawing strengthen hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Overall, making art contributes to a healthier mind and body, fostering both emotional balance and cognitive sharpness.
