Arts on Prescription is friendly and welcoming and provides art courses for people who are finding life a little tough: people who are lonely, stressed or not feeling very confident about themselves and also those suffering from anxiety or depression.

All our courses are free, suitable for complete beginners and are open to people who haven’t been on Arts on Prescription before. At the moment you can only come along and do a course once, so you need to choose the one which suits you best. If you need any help just call, text or email us.

You can come and try a lesson once and if you like it, come back and do the whole course. You don’t need to have done any arts & crafts in the past as all our courses are suitable for complete beginners.
One of the best parts of Arts on Prescription is getting to try new things, new techniques and learning how to be more creative.
