FLOW STATE AT WILLIAM MORRIS GALLERY

Flow State at the William Morris Gallery is a monthly art studio with a focus on wellbeing. ‘Flow’ is the mental state in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of focus, involvement, and enjoyment in the process rather than just the outcome.

I spearheaded the project in 2024, later joined by fellow art therapist Jen Raingold. We run an studio at the gallery for locals with experiences of mental health issues. The aim is to provide a gentle, holistic and nurturing space for creativity, mind and body. We also run creative sessions for inpatients at Whipps Cross Hospital.

Flow State is funded for 3 years from 2024-2027. No experience in art is necessary, with new art techniques taught each month.
