Warminster art group meets on the first and third Wednesday of the month in Lakeside Community Centre in the lovely Lakeside Pleasure Grounds. It's led by artist Jane Greenwood and organised by Cathy Lawrence, our community services coordinator in West Wiltshire.
Family carers are encouraged to join in to create in their own right and 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 and craft groups are friendly, relaxing, therapeutic and fun and you do not need to be 'good at art' to join in! People living with dementia and a family carer create their own projects under Jane's guidance. 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. Activities include a variety of art and craft projects, including painting, drawing, collage, printing, crafts, clay modelling and more.
