Mindful Art Club

July 16, 2026 Events
Purbeck Workshop art workshops for anyone touched by cancer in Dorset

Mindful Art Club

Time: 2.00 – 4.00 pm

Place: The D’Urberville Centre, Collier’s Lane, Wool, Dorset, BH20 6DL

FREE monthly creative respite for anyone touched by cancer

Mindful Art Club is a monthly two-hour art workshop I run on behalf of the Dorset cancer charity Purbeck Workshop

What do the workshops involve?

    • Free to attend if you have been touched by cancer;

    • All abilities welcome;

    • Each session has a different theme;

    • We try different media and techniques;

    • I select activities that are wholly, or partly, mindful. These are activities that involve repetition, patterns, are tactile, and can easily be achieved whilst holding a conversation;

    • Spend time with others who also have experience of cancer;

    • I encourage positive language about the work we produce – no comparing!

Each session starts with a demonstration by me, and examples to follow.

Drinks and biscuits provided, as well as all art materials.

Leave perfectionism at home and just enjoy creating!

N.B. Bookings for Mindful Art Club are made on The Purbeck Workshop Eventbrite page and not through this website.
