"It was nice to switch off from the intensity of our Olympic training camps - this was the perfect activity - peaceful, fun, creative - we all had a great time trying something new and Nick led the session really well - was helpful and funny. Thank you!"
I think the funny part was when I said something about I was tempted to google them, but then decided it would actually be a bit daunting to know how many world titles and Olympic medals they had!
In a similar way to when I work in secure units, it can negatively impact the interactions if you know who is in there for which crimes - better to focus on the present and support them to make art without any expectations or pre-ideas.

In both these two settings, they have people involved in their achievements or crimes, but fortunately that's not my job or why I'm there. I'm there to provide a break from their history and what people expect from them - a chance to explore a different side of themselves.
Having said that, now the workshop is done, I've checked them out and what they do is phenomenal! Good luck for @paris2024 ! Here's a few links to their instagrams:
