We had a wonderful class at Queens View Harbour Care Home. Our lovely class have been busy creating these beautiful owl paintings using watercolour pencils! Every painting is unique, and we love seeing the different ideas and details that make each painting special.

Thank you for another wonderful class!

During our recent visit to Alzheimer Scotland, one participant had a guide to work from but decided to go straight into creating something of his own, and it was amazing to see!

It sparked a lovely conversation about how some people can draw straight from their imagination, while others prefer to have something to copy. What do you prefer?

Thank you for another wonderful class! 🎨

We recently joined the lovely Back in Time group at Dundonald Castle & Visitor Centre, where they painted these beautiful rosehip plants.

The paintings sparked lots of lovely conversation when we discovered that many of us knew rosehips by their more familiar name, itchycoos! And of course, that led to plenty of memories of childhood pranks! I'm sure we all have memories of these from our childhoods!

It’s wonderful how art can do so much more than create a picture. It can bring back memories, start conversations and get everyone sharing stories from their past.

We really enjoyed our visit to Graceland Care Home for our Art in a Suitcase class.

The participants painted these colourful lighthouses, aren't they wonderful?

Thanks again for another great class 🎨🖌

Another lovely session with our Dementia Arts group, this time creating beautiful dragonfly paintings at Woodlands Care Home.

We welcomed a new participant to the group who spent some time settling in and getting to know everyone. They didn’t quite finish their painting this time, and that’s absolutely fine!

There’s no pressure to finish a painting or create something perfect. Sometimes simply joining in, having a chat and enjoying the moment is what matters most.

Art is about the journey, not just the finished picture.

We had another lovely Art in a Suitcase class at Berelands care home this week, with our group getting creative with a lighthouse painting.

We love how art can create a reason to sit together, chat and share memories. Thank you for another brilliant visit! 🎨🖌

These wonderful lighthouses were created by the 'Back in Time' group at Dundonald Castle & Visitor Centre. Everyone had a great time adding their own colours and little details to their paintings.

Being part of a regular group can bring so many benefits. Having somewhere to go, familiar faces to see and a chance to be part of something can help reduce feelings of isolation and give a real sense of connection and belonging. 💜

And then there’s the painting itself. 🎨
Creative activities can encourage concentration, stimulate memories and conversation, provide a sense of achievement and, most importantly, offer a chance to simply enjoy the moment.

We feel very lucky to have such a wonderful group take part in our art classes and it’s always a pleasure to see them enjoying their time together.

Our Art in a Suitcase class at Templehouse Care Home painted these colourful fruits. It was lovely to see everyone getting involved and putting their own twist on the paintings.

Another enjoyable afternoon of art, conversation and creativity. 🎨🖌
