Recently we have been given the opportunity to expand the Helm's premises which means now that in addition to the already existing centre, we have a further couple of session rooms, a sewing room where textiles will be made towards craft fairs and an open seating and meeting area. This has caused quite a lot of excitement at The Helm and everyone has been very keen to get involved in the decorating of the new extension.
We had wanted to create a calming mural of a natural scene so we decided on The Olive Trees By Van Gogh. The image was divided into 12 sections and during our Art For Relaxation we spent a few sessions fine tuning the paintings

| By the end of the first session the canvases looked like this and you can start to see the image take shape |

| The Final Result!! |
