Art therapy project is launched in Leamington’s Old Town

Leamington artists are using their skills to offer support to those with mental health problems.

Recyclart is a new project set up by artist Toni Peach in which participants are encouraged to use recycled materials - such as card, wood and glass - to create paper sculptures, collages, photography, jewellery and other artworks.

Art therapist Jane Scheuer is working alongside the artists to run mixed media workshops - the first of which takes place at Age UK in Clemens Street tomorrow (Tuesday) from 1.30pm.

Toni said: “Art can be a very relaxing creative outlet for stress, depression and anxiety.
