Doodle Chat x Another Way Of Seeing
Come join us for a doodle and an exploration of the exhibition Another Way of Seeing. This informal, free to attend session is open to everyone. All materials are provided. No art experience necessary.
Facilitated by Edek Thompson, a Leeds based community artist who uses art practice to support his mental health, well-being and to manage his chronic pain.
For anyone who wants to get playful and explore creative well-being in a relaxed, fun setting
What: doodling, chatting, collage, colouring, playing with materials, and exploring the exhibits.
Doodle Chat CIC is a Leeds based nonprofit providing relaxed social groups for all to doodle and chat. Doodle Chats are safe spaces to talk and listen, opportunities to be social and prioritise well-being, places to connect and build community.
Doodle Chat CIC believes that Art Builds Community, and art and creative well-being should be available and accessible to everyone. Sessions are always free to attend, all materials are provided, and attendees can bring along their own projects and creative activities too.
