About this Event
Too Young To Grieve x Art Nest: An Evening of Art & Chats
We’re teaming up with Too Young To Grieve for a special Art Nest evening bringing together young women who have experienced grief.
Come along for a couple of relaxed hours of creating, chatting and connecting in a welcoming space, with no pressure to talk about your experience or share anything personal.
You can simply switch off, make something, enjoy some snacks and spend time around other women who get it. 🤍
No artistic experience needed. No pressure to talk. Just come as you are.
What is Art Nest?
Art Nest is a midweek creative reset. A space to spend a couple of hours creating, meeting like-minded people and unwinding.
For this special event, we’re creating a relaxed space specifically for the Too Young To Grieve community, combining creativity and connection in a relaxed setting.
There’ll be a selection of art materials available to experiment with, alongside snacks and plenty of time to chat, create or simply enjoy being around other people.
You don’t need to be “good at art” or have an idea of what you want to make. Follow the theme, bring your own ideas or just see where the evening takes you.
