Arty Quote!

Art stimulates both sides of the brain, develops focus and increases attention.

Art Stop background....

Art Stop has been set up to provide fun and educational visual art experiences for people of all ages. It is run by Lisa Howes, an arts specialist teacher with 20 years experience teaching in Enfield schools.
All classes take place in well equipped and stimulating art studio.
I am passionate about the benefits of art in education and their use in therapy based approaches to well-being.
I believe in the importance of building positive relationships with both children and adults to allow them to relax and flourish.

Classes

Mindful Makers

Our lives are busy and stressful with little time to reflect and just 'be'. The act of being creative induces a mindfulness that therapists agree can help express hidden emotions, reduce stress and anxiety and offer a space for relaxation. These classes aim to support and inspire adults who love being creative or just want to try something new, learn new skills or make new friends in a relaxed and non threatening environment. Past experience is not necessary. Every Thursday 7.00pm - 8.30pm £14.00 Book here
