Who we are

Expressions Through Art is a community interest company based in Edmonton, North London. We run free creative programmes that use drawing and watercolour painting to support emotional wellbeing, reduce isolation, and build connection.

We believe that making art together - in a welcoming, unhurried space - can do something that's hard to find elsewhere. It gives people a reason to leave the house, a room full of others, and something to look forward to each week. No pressure, no judgement, no experience needed.

Our programmes are free and open to adults in Enfield and North London who could benefit most - particularly those experiencing anxiety, low mood, or loneliness.

Meet the facilitator

Hi, I'm Chris Seddon - artist, designer, and the founder of Expressions Through Art.

I've been making art most of my life, and for the past several years watercolour has been at the centre of my practice, particularly portraiture and figurative work. I studied Communication Art at Central Saint Martins and have spent over a decade working as a graphic designer, but it's  the human side of creativity that interests me most.

Expressions Through Art grew out of a simple observation that there's something genuinely good about making art with others. I founded the CIC to make that experience available and free to anyone who needs it.

I'm based in Edmonton and have been working with local organisations across Enfield and North London to reach people who would benefit from a creative wellbeing programme.

Our approach

No experience needed
Our sessions are designed for people who have never picked up a paintbrush, not just those who already consider themselves artists. Everyone starts somewhere.

Process over product
We focus on the experience of making, not the end result. There's no right or wrong, just the act of being present and creative.

Community at the centre
The group is as important as the art. Our sessions are deliberately small and welcoming, designed to reduce isolation and build genuine connection between participants.

Rooted in North London
We work in partnership with local health and community organisations to ensure our programmes reach the people who need them most.
