Lyneham art group (formerly Bradenstoke art group) meets on the second and fourth Monday of the month at St Michael's Church Hall, Calne Road. It's led by artist Fran Young and facilitated by Georgina Hart.
Family carers are welcome at the group as full members and encouraged to join in to create their own pieces of art. Trained volunteers are on hand to lend support as needed.
Why take part
Creating art can be therapeutic in all stages of life. It can be particularly helpful for people living with dementia who still enjoy the process of painting, drawing and being creative, and feel a sense of achievement with their finished work.
What you can expect
Our art groups are friendly, relaxing, therapeutic and fun. People living with dementia and a family carer create their own art projects under Fran's guidance with projects ranging from painting and drawing to collage, printing, crafts, clay modelling and more. We work at a leisurely pace with plenty of time for conversation and connection. No previous experience of art is necessary and everyone works at their own pace. People can also work on their own projects and develop their own ideas.
