Description
All of our new Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven 'purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning.
This Brightside course will help you to maintain or improve your mental health and wellbeing. Try something new, rediscover an old interest or take up a new hobby. Learning can be fun, boost your self-confidence, self-esteem, help to find meaning and purpose in life, and connect with others.
In this course you will have the chance to develop your skills working with clay whilst finding a calm place to nurture your mind. Clay can also be an effective tool to reduce anxiety, promote a positive mood, enhance creativity, healing and induce self-expression. These sessions offer a friendly and informal environment to be creative with clay.
