INFORM: Prioritising You in Your Creative Practice – ''How To's" for Artist Wellbeing is a thoughtfully designed workshop - with a highly encouraged interactive (yet opt-in) style - specifically for artists, craftspeople, designers, creatives and freelance professionals. We fully acknowledge the stretch, compression, overwhelm and many pressures experienced by independent practitioners. This session will share a bunch of insightful tips, tools and methods to discover what 'wellbeing' looks like for you and what the next steps might be to incorporate those discoveries into your days.

Led by the expertise of experienced facilitator, Bel Ryan, IGNITE Wellbeing Co, with a focus on tactile learning (yes, pipe cleaners!) with minimal screens and slides. This session aims to equip, empower and de-mystify the 'wellbeing' world, for you.

A limited number of subsidised tickets are available:
