The Alchemists Art Club (TAAC)
is a space
for using creativity
to turn metaphorical lead into gold.

We use Expressive Arts as our laboratory:
Expressive Arts help us to translate what is going on inside of us to outside of us so that we can witness it. “It” may be emotions, experiences, knowledge, memories, resources, parts of ourselves, and more, or combined or worded in another way, or often something that has no words at all. Acknowledging what we carry is a healing practice.

Expressive Art may use drawing, painting, collage, clay, writing, movement, sound, and usually a combination of a number of them…. It may have somatic exercises woven in, body scanning, breathing exercises, and at times guided visual meditation.

We:
∆ Engage our creative muscles
∆ Use a variety of modalities to express ourselves (mark-making, drawing, writing, sound-making, movement, somatic awareness, and more)
∆ Recognise our resources
∆ Problem-solve in unconventional ways
∆ Make art in community

We offer:
∆ Free resources (art, movement and somatic exercises) (occasional community art sessions)
∆ Paid workshops in person and online
∆ Individual sessions

We move what we’re learning from our head to our hearts through our hands.”
