Please book your place via Ticket Tailor.Join us at Velocity Café for creative workshops with artist Morag Smith to explore the climate crisis through art, writing & discussion!
Using art, writing and discussion we will explore different aspects of the climate crisis during 6 workshops held at Velocity Café on Tuesdays from 6.00 – 8.30pm. The workshops can be attended as a block or as individual sessions. To secure your place, please book the session(s) you wish to attend.
Tuesday 1st October: What can I do? - Explore what areas I am drawn to, look at what changes I can, and am willing to make, and what difference these can make. If we all made these changes what would our world look like?
These workshops will aim to raise awareness of the climate crisis, to explore what climate change is, and what the solutions are. To look at inequalities and biodiversity loss, learn how to manage eco-anxiety, increase our resilience and discover what we can do that will make a difference.
A creative approach to exploring these difficult issues allows us to physically and emotionally be fully present for the duration of the workshop. To not be thinking of the past or the future but of the here and now. Creativity can open our minds to other possibilities and news ways of thinking, and importantly allow us to play and have fun. No experience is necessary as it is the creative process and journey that is more important.
All materials will be provided. We will use a variety of mark making techniques, reflective writing exercises and discussion to explore the themes and discover more about ourselves and how we feel about the climate crisis.
A hot/cold non-alcoholic drink of your choice will be provided between 6 - 6.30pm.
