MEET YOUR HOST: Floss Nicholls BA(Hons)with QTS
Floss is an intuitive Mixed Media Artist who adores layers and textures...she has loved art from a very young age and could always be found engaged with something creative, or exploring how things worked. This, in turn, led her into to teaching Design Technology, Art, and Textiles so that she could share her enthusiasm with young prep school aged students through to and including GCSE students for many years. Floss is a fully qualified teacher and is DRB checked. She has a love for the outdoors and exercise as well as a passion for sharing her Mixed Media techniques and creative workshop space with both adults and young people.
You can see Floss' own art journey on both Instagram and Facebook (including video's of her processes). She is currently part of the PaperArtsy creative team where she blogs about different materials and mixed media art processes. Most of Floss' Art is available to buy from her 'buy ART & eGift cards' tab on the website or in person at the workshop.

MIXED MEDIA AND CREATIVE WELLNESS
Art can definitely balance a busy lifestyle and help you manage stress levels/anxiety.
Textures and building layers using printing, collage, stamping and stencilling using acrylics and/or inks, and stitching are not only fun to explore but have endless possible outcomes in mixed media where various techniques and a multitude of materials are combined on the same piece. Many workshops/classes and combination of materials or techniques are regularly listed and more fully explained in each listing: choose your art session.
Mixed media allows for so much scope to "play" that time flies and you lose yourself in the moment; a little time for you...a space to explore creativity but also to let go/unwind from daily issues.
Tea, coffee or herbal tea is part of the session.
Creative Wellness
Creativity is often at the forefront of everything that supports mental health wellness and your overall wellbeing with its gentle approach. Having a focus on creating helps let things go/deal with emotions and you become less stressed/overwhelmed and become more present in the moment therefore bringing you a more calm and clear mind. All sessions have been structured to introduce you to the simplicity of creating art allowing you to gain confidence in yourself and your art whilst giving yourself permission to find time for you.
