SHED Art Club

Join award-winning artist Donna Brewins-Cook for a monthly, relaxing, friendly, adult mindful art club designed to help participants shed the stresses of the day.

Worried about not being able to draw? Think again! At SHED, doodles, scribbles, and all forms of expressive art are celebrated. No previous drawing experience is required—just a willingness to have fun. Each session begins with approximately 10 minutes of mindful drawing and breathing exercises, followed by an informal talk and slideshow exploring a famous artist, art movement, or theme. The remainder of the session is dedicated to personal creative time, where attendees can create a drawing, collage, or painting inspired by the monthly theme.

No prior experience in art or mindful breathing is necessary, as Donna guides participants through each simple exercise. She also encourages individual creativity and expression to flourish with every session.

Each session includes a tea break with light refreshments, offering a chance to connect with fellow art club members. SHED is an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for all.

Tuesday 11th November: “The Potting Shed in Autumn”
This month’s class is perfect for those who are passionate about gardening and the charm of the garden shed. As the days grow shorter and people retreat from the garden into their sheds, Donna will bring in props inspired by the season—architectural plant seed heads, autumn leaves, seasonal vegetables, lanterns, pots, and gardening tools. The session will also explore artists who have drawn inspiration from horticulture throughout the seasons in their work.
