Art therapy is a type of psychoanalytic therapy that uses art making as a way to connect and express different emotions that are sometimes difficult to explain or name. All sessions will be half art making and half time for discussion, where everyone is welcome to speak about their work in a safe, confidential space. All artworks created will be your own, and you are welcome to take your work home with you at the end of every session.

This session is:

-November 27th, Wednesday at 10:30-12:00.

Ephemeral Sand Trays – Creating a work of art in sand that will be deconstructed at the end of the session. Using toys, figures, stones, random objects, and anything you might want to bring yourself. You will place these in soft, dry sand to explore emotions. Water may also be used in the trays are a thick plastic material. Sometimes it becomes a story with the pieces moving as you go, and sometimes it is a still image created with 3-dimensional objects. Explore inner emotions using the physical sensation of sand between your fingers. All materials are provided, and please feel free to bring personal objects if this interests you.
