Art-based support guided by a STILL Method–trained Art Therapy Coach.

ONLINE, 90 MINS

Unspoken Feelings | Colour Weather

Sometimes grief shows up as a fog, a heavy sky, a sudden storm, or a strange stillness. In this studio we’ll use colour as a language. You’ll be guided through quick, gentle pages that let emotion move without needing to explain it.

What we’re exploring:

Feelings that don’t have words yet.

What you’ll make:

A set of 3–4 “weather pages” using colour, movement, and simple shapes.

Who it’s for:

Anyone in grief who wants expression without talking.

Materials (minimum):

Paper, 2–3 colours (pens/pencils/paint), one darker pen/marker, water (if painting).

Mixed Emotions | Texture Mapping

Grief often comes as mixed weather inside: tenderness and anger, love and disbelief, numbness and longing. This session uses texture and collage to give each feeling a place on the page, without needing to speak about the details.

What we’re exploring:

Feelings that don’t have words yet.

What you’ll make:

A set of 3–4 “weather pages” using colour, movement, and simple shapes.

Materials (minimum):

Paper, 2–3 colours (pens/pencils/paint), one darker pen/marker, water (if painting).

When I Need Strength | The Holding Line

Strength in grief doesn’t always look like power. Sometimes it’s simply the ability to stay. This studio offers a calming, structured art process: one line, slowly drawn, becoming something that can hold weight. No art experience needed.

What we’re exploring:

Support, steadiness, “how do I hold myself today?”

What you’ll make:

A continuous line piece that becomes a “holding structure”, plus supportive shapes around it.

Materials (minimum):

Paper, one pen/marker. Optional: one colour.

When It’s Too Much | Containment Shapes

Some days grief feels like it spills everywhere. This session is about creating containment on the page. You’ll make shapes that hold, separate, and soften. You decide what goes inside, what stays outside, and what gets its own little corner.

What we’re exploring:

Overwhelm, boundaries, what can be held today.

What you’ll make:

A page of containment: bowls, nests, pockets, frames, shelters.

Materials (minimum):

Paper, pen, 2–3 colours, glue/tape optional for collage.

ONLINE, 90 MINS

What’s Been Torn | Paper Repair

This is a simple, powerful making session. We’ll tear paper intentionally, then repair it in a way that feels supportive. This isn’t about turning pain into positivity. It’s about practising care through your hands, and letting repair be an action you can feel.

What we’re exploring:

Living with what’s been torn, without forcing “fixing”.

What you’ll make:

A torn paper piece that you mend using tape/thread/staples/pen.

Materials (minimum):

Paper, pen, 2–3 colours, glue/tape optional for collage.

For the Hard Days | Pocket Anchor Card

In grief, hard moments can arrive without warning. This session helps you create a small visual anchor you can keep nearby, something steady to reach for. Simple, calming, and designed to be finished within the session.

What we’re exploring:

Support for moments that hit unexpectedly.

What you’ll make:

A small pocket-sized card plus an optional envelope/pouch.

Materials (minimum):

Paper, pen, 2–3 colours, glue/tape optional for collage.
