Join us at Science Gallery London for a creative workshop specifically for medical students, with artist Sarah Christie.
This event is a collaboration between Arts & Health Hub and King's Undergraduate Medical Education in the Community (KUMEC), and is a part of a series of events aimed at medical practitioners and medical students focused on practitioner mental health, taking place during the The Art of Care exhibition on at Science Gallery London (22nd June - 31st July). This event is generously funded by the Louise Tebboth Foundation.
About the Workshop.
Participants will experiment with collage, mark-making and drawing to find focus and expression through creative play. We will work together and individually using simple methods and materials to explore colour and form between two and three dimensions. Responding to gentle prompts that will guide the process, we will cultivate a calm and reflective space, and find autonomy and freedom in making.
