After delivering training to Tyne and Wear Museum and Gallery Staff a few weeks ago...we have collaboratively designed sessions that will be facilitated by myself and the staff during the next couple of months, working with a group of older people, specifically with Dementia.

The sessions will run in four alternative musuems and galleries, consisting of:
The Stephenson - Railway Museum

This is a great opportunity to put into practice everything that i have learnt over the last year!

The sessions are based around Art Thinking and Discussion but also Art Making too - Keep Posted for Art Works and Stories Produced from the Sessions....with the first one next week!
