IWSO ClientArts & Crafts participant I love the art classes because it brought out hidden feelings and left me with an inner beautiful happiness. I remember one day I was extremely frustrated, felt nothing is going on as should be, so I started the class using aggressive colours, and just being among other women in the safe, friendly environment I saw my colours changing to pretty flowery thing. Could not believe myself.
