Arts Desire Exhibition - Ilkeston Hospital

We have recently installed an art exhibition of work at Ilkeston Hospital of our Arts Desire Project. We created this artwork with members of Flamsteed Dementia Day Centre and the Creative Arts Project in Ilkeston. You can see we had a lot of fun in the sessions.

shine a light in Ilkeston

We worked with the Derbyshire Recovery and Peer Support Group to create super lanterns for the Shine a Light Lantern Festival at Erewash Museum, in Ilkeston.

It was a great festival and lovely group to work with.

The project was kindly funded by Erewash Borough Councils' Small Arts Grant.

Wednesday Wellbeing - Exhibition

We were very pleased to hold an exhibition of all the Wednesday Wellbeing workshops, created with the P3 group and local people from the Erewash area at the beginning of March. The exhibition took place at the Hayloft Gallery in Erewash Museum, and was attended by the Mayor, Councillor Sue Beardsley and her husband John. It was a very enjoyable event with the members and their families coming to view the work.
The project was funded by Erewash CVS 5 Ways to Wellbeing.

Flamsteed Day Centre Project

We have been working with the lovely folk at Flamsteed, in Ilkeston, many of whom have dementia. Its been busy as the group is quite large now, but we have had lots of fun.
Batik, paper mache, collage and applique. Here are some of the lovely images.

Creative Caring @ Flamsteed Centre

The Flamsteed Centre is a day centre for older people, some with dementia. We have been working with the group since January creating artwork to stimulate senses, help conversations and make lasting moments for the participants.
We created a range of artwork such as printed fabric bags, paper lanterns, batik cushions, bird sculptures, poem collage and block printing.
