Valuing Elders

This is a 3 year project located in the abandoned Lillian Baylis Old School in Lambeth. This project is run by Creative Sparkworks and aims to give elders of the local community a place to meet up, have a cup of tea, a chat and some lunch and to create artwork with guidance from the tutors. I help manage the space and support the group in activities such as mosaic making, ceramics, felt making, batik and screen printing. Other activities include; walk and draw ( when its warm enough) drawing in the studio, trips to gardens, galleries and museums, block printing, crochet and knitting and applique and embroidery. This project is so important for our regular clients who need the social interaction as much as anything else.
