I’m not an artist, but I do want to explore visual ways of exploring my life. This workshop was a fab way to start. Helen was an inspiring facilitator, negotiating between a well-structured workshop plan, and a relaxed way of nudging us into pushing ourselves just a little bit more.
Although I gave birth a few decades ago, I learnt something new about how my body experienced giving birth.

I found the preparation work to be very useful and enjoyable. The inspiration provided by yourself resulted in my recording of both of my births and their emotional journey’s (something I’ve been meaning to do for last 6 and 2 years),which then led on to the finished results of the final pieces on the day.
