ART & CRAFT WORKSHOPS
Hi, I'm Helen, illustrator and co-owner of Outside The Box and partner to Rachel. When we were in the planning stage of opening the board games cafe, it made perfect sense for us to also use the space to run Art & Craft Workshops. As well as playing board games, being creative is positively beneficial to our mental health. Being immersed in creativity, whether real or fantastical, we can de-stress, re-charge and feel a sense of purpose. Learning in a group setting can also strengthen our social connections.
THE CAFE MURALS
The cafe murals have been created with popular board game themes in mind. We have the forest, the desert, space and the sea. I am aiming to cover all of the cafe walls with illustrations of board game characters! You will most likely see something new each time you visit!
THE CREATIVE SPACE
The workshops so far have involved clay, paper and mixed media. I also teach the art of Zentangles which is a mindful drawing technique helping to reduce the stresses of life.
If you would like more information on any of the activities, please contact us by phone, email or check out the events page of our website.
