Transforming a Playground Through Creative Collaboration
Heather visited a school where she collaborated with pupils to create a space-themed art project. The children designed their own imaginative characters, and together they transformed an old, rusty shipping container in the playground. Heather began by spray-painting the base, turning the dull eyesore into a vibrant galaxy. The pupils then added their space-themed characters, bringing the container to life with colour and creativity. The project encouraged teamwork and collaboration, and the children were proud to see their collective effort turn into a bright, exciting centrepiece for their playground.
Creating Halloween decorations!
We recently held a creative craft session at Birthwaite Residence in Windermere, where residents transformed recycled materials into Halloween decorations for their party.
The session was relaxed and enjoyable, with music, conversation, and plenty of tea, a wonderful opportunity for residents to socialise, get creative, and celebrate the season together.
Reconnecting with Creativity
This participant is living with dementia and was once an artist who painted beautiful scenes. Although he hadn’t painted for years, believing he no longer could, art has become a way for him to reconnect with his creative past. Despite challenges with communication and hand mobility, he expresses himself through vibrant colours — often using his fingers to paint and blend. This process brings him joy and allows his artistic spirit to shine through once again.
Creative expression through rag wreath making
Our recent rag wreath-making session brought women together in a warm, relaxed atmosphere filled with creativity and conversation. It was a laid-back activity that encouraged sharing stories while crafting beautiful autumn wreaths to hang on their doors. Everyone enjoyed the process, and each wreath turned out unique, a lovely reflection of each person’s individual creativity.
Tailored art classes
We understand that each individual has unique needs and abilities. That's why our art classes are carefully tailored to accommodate a range of capabilities, ensuring everyone can participate and benefit from the creative process. We adapt our approach to suit all participants.
