Featured in Plymouth Chronicle
We are happy to be featured in The Plymouth Chronicle this month (March 2020). However, please note that our Monday venue has changed its name since this was published. ‘The Pig Bar and Grill’ is now called ‘Jack n Mols’.
The Plymouth Chronicle is delivered door to door, in four local areas, to 90,000 homes per month.
The article describes why we started Mindful Art Club, and also reports that we have received National Lottery funding to start an art group at The Harbour Drug and Alcohol Service.
Our unique combination of mindfulness and art promotes mental health and wellbeing. If you would like to offer a mindful art club to your clients or employees please get in touch with Peggy and Emma.

[Listen] MAC on BBC Radio Devon
BBC Radio Devon Breakfast show host, Caroline Cook, asks:
- How does a mindful art class differ from any other?
- Why did you want to help recovering addicts and alcoholics?
- Do you have to be good at drawing to join in?
At the moment we have three weekly classes in Plymouth.
(Edit: Since this interview was recorded The Pig Bar and Grill has changed it’s name to Jack n Mols, 133 Armada Way – Monday group.)
Not ready to come to a class in person? That’s OK. Grab some free mindful colouring pages here.
