Engage Here

Engage Here is a weekly arts group engaging people living with neurodiversity and cognitive impairment through art.

Format
By teaching artistic processes rather than general drawing or painting classes, we place no concern with the participant's output, but focus on nurturing techniques that are easily repeatable. This both increases the accessibility of our programmes, but also the likelihood of participants continuing with these activities beyond the scope of our workshops.

Hopes
Successful programmes would see an improvement in the participant’s senses, their overall happiness, as well as the increased desire to socialise. As a result, this may mean participants wish to involve in further creative activity, as a means of improving their well-being.

Each workshop will focus on a different creative process to stimulating the senses, some of the past workshops have included:

• Cyanotype Printing

• Felt Making

• Drawing Sound

• Paper Marbling

• Nature Printing

• Clay Modelling.

Where, when & how?

The sessions run every Thursday 4:30m-5:30pm. Contact us to join.

They will be in the Gym Room at the James Wigg practice.
