The 'Art of Happiness' Workshop

Did you know that everyone can choose happiness for themselves, no matter what?

 

Tessa works with groups of up to 100 pupils to explore what happiness is, and how we can choose it in our lives.


Top illustration tips and simple visual story-telling techniques empower young artists to create
narratives that serve their happiness.

 

Workshops can be run on the topics of Vulnerability, inspired by Squirrel and the Three Bears, Resilience with The Girl Who Walked to the Moon, or Togetherness
with Geoffrey Finds A Bike.
