Our Pottery group invites people with dementia and/or other neurological conditions to handle clay in a safe, social and supportive setting. The Pottery Sessions run bi-weekly in St Martins Church, Cambridge. Clay handling and pottery can be beneficial for people with dementia because it can:
Provide creative stimulation, help develop fine motor skills and create the sense of community by joining a regular activity.

Our Cambridge Arts on Prescription course is in full swing, and we couldn’t be prouder of our amazing participants. From pottery to paint-making, they’re exploring new creative outlets, all inspired by the Murray Edwards College women’s art collection.

These 12-week sessions are designed for those facing mental health challenges, offering a supportive space to build confidence and connect with others through art.

Check out some of the wonderful creations from the course so far! 👇

We’re already planning the next course—stay tuned!

Love the arts? Passionate about mental health?
And got a few hours a month to spare for a great local cause?

If so, Arts and Minds would love to hear from you! Established in 2008, we provide a broad range of arts-based programmes that are designed to support the positive mental health of communities across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. From the social-prescribing initiative Arts on Prescription to pottery classes for dementia-patients; from corporate 'creative breaks' to arts adventures for the socially isolated, we focus on supporting wellbeing at a grass-roots level.

And our Trustees are at the heart of that. As well as meeting quarterly to oversee strategy, there are numerous opportunities to get involved with the charity on an ad-hoc basis. We're a welcoming group and at this juncture, we would particularly love to hear from enthusiastic and hands-on individuals with experience in fundraising, finance, HR and general company administration.
