Activities Programme

This session is suitable for those with a palliative life-limiting condition, and their carers.

This group runs until 16th November. 

The aim is to express thoughts and feelings through a range of mark making. This involves exploring materials and techniques in a playful and curious way. With no pressure to create a "finished piece", this 6-week block will celebrate the individuality of how we all make our mark on the world around us.

No previous art experience is required, just a willingness to give it a go!
