I attended the creative summit & variety evening on 23rd March. The arts trail and the concert on 24th March. They were all brilliant.

The need to focus on learning this creative skill, and the sense of peace (mindfulness) I experienced during the creative process/activity stayed with me for many days afterwards. I feel inspired to explore this creative practice further, as a good outlet for grounding myself into a 'flow' state. Great for mental health!

As an art historian I found the wealth of information and possibilities for further research and writing unlimited.
