Therapeutic Collage Workshop for Everyone!

Please join us for a special wellness event when Patty Holton, a ceramist, painter, former art teacher, and NAMI friend, will lead an art workshop in therapeutic collage. No prior art experience is required, and the class is open to anyone wanting to express their complex feelings and emotions by creating a unique photo collage… giving themselves space to create something brand new.

Patty says, “In making a visual image, we can allow ourselves to feel and express the emotions and ideas involved in living with mental illness, and how we cope and heal ourselves.” She has worked with students of all ages, producing community murals and all kinds of art since 1988. And, she uses art therapeutically in her own life and is excited to share it with the NAMI community.

Please come with scissors and be prepared for a new journey of expression and emotional release! All other materials will be provided.
