Amazing feedback from Artsoup participants.
Cheryl Scofield on the benefits of mosaics for healing . . .
Having to go through 3 months of chemotherapy and 5 weeks of radiotherapy I needed another focus to concentrate on. I needed something with a definite positive outcome that I knew I could make happen. As having cancer really is such an unsure outcome, I needed something to distract my mind from the continuous self-pity you feel from an illness.
I cannot stress enough to anyone of any age the distraction of art therapy, mosaics especially.I created some beautiful pieces - mirrors, planters, a letterbox, painted outdoor furniture . . .
Going to bed at night with the vision of your art therapy and the excitement of finishing a piece, takes away from what is happening with your body and what you look like.The positivity that it brings is the prize.
I cannot stress enough the joy and excitement you can receive from art therapy . . .give it a go, you will see for yourself when you finish a piece.
Good luck Susan, and have fun. x
Hi Susan, just wanted to thank you for the amazing art classes you are doing with my children. It's so wonderful to have a weekly time to look forward to when all 3 are engaged and having fun. We are seeing fantastic benefits with our 6 year old son who has autism, your caring encouraging nature makes sure he's so engaged in what he's doing. I love to see him communicate with you over paint colours and which 'tools' he'd like to use. Our 12 year old and 10 year old are having the best of times, they look forward to our sessions every week and it's so nice to know that they are enjoying some time with their little brother. Thank you so much for giving us something so positive and FUN to look forward to every week, and thank you for building such a great relationship with our children. See you soon! Louise & Family - Louise Stephenson
Artsoup is a place to relax, have some fun and chatting but mostly, get in touch with our inner child and express feelings and emotions through crafting, something we do not get a chance often on our daily basis. Every time I go is like a get 10 years younger
Thank you Susan and all your team - Luciana Giacomo x
I have been attending Artsoup mosaic sessions on a Saturday afternoon for a while now, it's my Therapy or Rehab as my Son once referred to it as! Great to be with like-minded people to relax and chat. I had never done mosaic before and have been surprised just how much I have enjoyed it and my creations have improved greatly.
I would strongly recommend any age, gender & ability to give it a go, trust me there are no rules!! - Karen O’Driscoll
