This workshop programme is for people experiencing early-stage dementia, mild cognitive impairment or memory challenges and their companions.
“Discover the art of craft with the skilled makers from Cockpit, arguably one of the best craft studios in the UK “
Arts 4 Dementia and Cockpit Studios are delighted to offer a 6-week craft programme with skilled makers from the prestigious studios based in Bloomsbury.
This exciting new programme is a chance for participants to try their hand at a number of new crafts including weaving and textile art from the brilliant resident makers.
Each session will focus on a different theme and craft, inspiring the activity for that day. Participants will learn new techniques and use a variety of materials to create a finished piece. There will even be a chance to exhibit your creations at the open studio event in November!
At the end of the session, there will be a chance to socialise with light refreshments. No previous experience is required, it is all about giving it a go!
Please note the workshop is free of charge and all materials will be provided.
