ARTS FOR HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY
|
|
I specialise in working in the community with adults and children on Arts for Health & Wellbeing Projects . For example in 2010 I was a tutor on "Open Minds " A 3 year project delivered in rural locations aimed at improving peoples mental health through Art & Crafts this project was big lottery funded and was delivered through the WEA.
|
In the WEA project "Can of Worms" 2015 I delivered Arts and crafts sessions to young people living in supported living hostels across North Wales . The project was about discrimination and stigma. It gave the young people an opportunity to express themselves through art the work was exhibited in Wrexham at !Restfest!
