Working with the elder community
Working alongside the activity team or in your own home, listening and talking and finding what inspires you; helping to source the materials to express and make art. Stimulating conversation and memories: working with people who are beginners at painting and those who are experienced painters (dementia friendly). Something that they, others and their families can find meaningful and pleasurable.

“After our trip to Stonehenge, I was inspired to start painting for the first time since I was at school. Julie's art class enabled me to overcome my fear of painting and enjoy making pictures from my own photographs.”

“Thank you for encouraging my mother to paint when she was in the nursing home; she never knew she could do it but your class became the highlight of her week..”
— Katrina, Winifred's daughter
