Big Heart Workshop

Luton at Heart invites you to one or more of their four Big Heart Workshops at The Hat Factory – friendly, welcoming sessions where creativity and storytelling come together.

At each workshop, a Luton at Heart model will share their inspiring story of recovery and rediscovery. While they talk, you’ll be invited to draw, paint, or experiment with mixed media, creating artwork inspired by what you hear and feel.

These workshops are about meeting new people, laughter, and shared creativity. There is no pressure to be ‘good’ at art – all abilities are welcome. Elaine and Fiona will guide and support you throughout, making sure everyone feels comfortable and encouraged.

Not just for beginners – if you’re an artist who finds people’s stories inspiring, come along and join us.

The artwork created will inspire part of a final exhibition in September 2026, giving you the chance to be involved in something meaningful that celebrates appreciation of life and community.

All materials provided.
