A series of free creative workshops are coming up in Worcester.

Artists Clubhouse is set to launch more free creative workshops across the city after receiving funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.

These workshops, based on the theme of creative play and community building, will each focus on a distinct medium or creative theme, which are designed to encourage creativity and playfulness.

The workshops aim to create a chilled environment for attendees, regardless of their skill or experience.

The organisers want to promote the joy of creativity to help alleviate negative emotions, depression, anxiety and stress by fostering happy hormones.

In 2023, the organisation ran workshops across the county.

Director Emily Johnson said: "I’m so excited to be able to continue our Creative Club, being able to encourage people to experiment with creative play to support a happier and healthier life is exactly the message we want to spread.

"I have found so much happiness, calm and community through art and I want to share that with anyone who may be searching for something more."

All necessary materials, along with drinks and snacks will be provided at the workshops.

However, booking is recommended due to limited spaces.

Further details and reservations are available at www.artistsclubhouse.com.

Sessions are set to run on Wednesdays throughout July and August at various times at either The Artery Studios near The Arches or St Andrews Methodist Church.
