Home Workshop Packs

Open Art Box CIC are delivering weekly Home Art Workshop Packs to residents living with early-stage dementia and their carers in Hertfordshire.

These Home Workshop Packs, delivered by Open Art Box CIC, contain all the resources
and art materials needed to enable people to engage in weekly art projects at home. Each
activity is carefully planned by artists, with clear instructions provided. Over the 16 week
project, participants are introduced to a wide variety of artistic mediums and styles,
including painting, clay, collage and bookmaking. Participants receive weekly telephone calls to discuss their project and support and guidance is available throughout.

An important part of the project is being able to share their work with other participants involved, as well as with the wider community to help build a sense of connection and inclusion. Open Art Box CIC have an online gallery, where participants can see their own and others’ work each week.

The boxes are available for a period of 16 weeks with new participants to start from the week beginning 19th October 2020.
