Blair will run your creative event and workshops such as in communities, organisations & online using Zoom

The D+P Studio run wellbeing, creative and art sessions and workshops for any age groups in central Scotland, in a variety of settings such as online by Zoom, schools, youth groups, care homes, businesses, meditation groups, charitable and community organisations. Would you be interested in creative sessions that are fun, relaxing and nurture the wellbeing and personal development and expression of your group?

The arts are inspiring, joyful and enchanting – for everyone – they encourage many health and community benefits and bring people together. Blair leads our groups and his focus is always on the groups and individuals we work with to creatively express themselves, increase confidence and participation, and so no experience is needed to take part.
