Projects
Art Ease work with existing community groups and individuals looking to come together, meet new people and learn new skills!
Albany Oasis - Pilot
Our Art Ease pilot scheme took place in a local Day Centre for people with dementia. We completed a series of arts and crafts workshops centered around our environment, the changing of the seasons, and our memories. Topics included foraging, recipes from childhood, quotes to live by, and celebrations such as birthdays, easter, as well as topical current affairs (like the world cup!).
Our groups were of mixed ages, genders and abilities, and we worked with staff, service users and families to tailor sessions accordingly. We received 100% positive feedback from service users, relatives and staff - and had a lot of fun in the process!
Emmys Craft Cafe
Emmys craft cafe is a weekly craft session held at The Engine Rooms Coffee Shop in the stunning Wayfarers Arcade, Southport. The event is bookable and can hold up to 10 people. We encourage all ages and abilities to attend, and the craft cafe is a place where people from all walks of life can come together around a table, over tea and coffee, and learn new skills and have new conversations. This is part of our goal to reduce isolation and remove barriers to the arts in Southport. The sessions are priced at just £5 per person, with all workshop materials included.
