Mediums include painting, drawing, crochet, jewelry design, creative writing, meditation and movement, photography, playwriting, sculpture and more. Workshop instructors are trained artists with a wide range of professional skills and techniques.
Unlock your creativity and experience the joy of painting, drawing, and sculpting in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Intuitive Painting Workshop with Ingvild Waerhaug BaronThe Creative Center understands that high-quality social connections are essential to our mental health and physical well-being. Our workshops intend to inspire creativity, improve well-being and combat the social isolation associated with cancer, chronic illness, age-related health complications and COVID.
We place emphasis on participant input and retention as a measure of our success and believe that participant feedback and participation rates can illuminate a realistic picture of what people feel about our programs in order to shape future ones. In 2024, our participants reported a marked increase in mood and feelings of connectedness after completing one workshop series.
