Many people with cancer carry emotions that are hard to verbalise - fear, grief, anger, uncertainty, sadness, and hope all at once.

How painting helps:

• Provides a non-verbal outlet for complex feelings
• Reduces emotional bottling and overwhelm
• Allows people to externalize what they’re experiencing
• Creates a sense of relief and emotional lightness afterward

Mindful creative painting helps people with cancer by:

• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Improving mood and emotional expression
• Restoring a sense of control and identity
• Building social connection
• Creating moments of peace, beauty, and meaning ❤️

We are running the event in partnership with Mad Hatters Pottery.

Pottery Painting is suitable for all ages and abilities. All pottery is individually priced ranging from £10 upwards with an ever-changing stock! When you visit our studio you will have a session, and plenty of time to sip coffee, eat cake and get creative. Our team has extensive knowledge in painting ceramics, so we are on hand with tips and tricks and are ready for any paint disasters. After finishing your piece, we glaze and fire it all onsite and it’s ready for you to collect in typically 7 - 10 days.

Come along and join us to get to know others that understand how your cancer diagnosis may have made you feel - as well as the complexities of treatment and the journey you find yourself on. It's a chance to meet up, be creative and enjoy some time doing something a little bit different.

FREE for members of the Cancer Support Network.
