Chelsea College of Arts, 16 John Islip St, London, SW1P 4JU. 16.00 – 18.00
How do you feel about being part of something bigger than yourself?

Art therapy during Inter Faith Week aims to bring students with diverse perspectives to use art as a means of self-expression and exploration.

This one-off therapeutic group session is scheduled for the first day of Inter Faith Week and is for students who are curious about religious belief, faith, the theme, or art therapy in general. All UAL students welcome.…
