Quotation

Pills are ok, counselling is ok and it will get you back on the streets, but what keeps your mind alive is what you learn here. That’s what it’s about – keeping your spirit alive.

– Lee, Bethlem artist.[4]

Studio

For long term patients, the art studio is a place to spend time away from the ward.

Available resources facilitate sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking and screen printing, among others.
