Brave Art Autumn Programme Bury St Edmunds
Brave Art is a programme for learning disabled and neurodivergent people to access high quality creative opportunities. Through a series of artist-led sessions in three locations we provide inspiration and support for people to express themselves through visual arts, bringing the social and wellbeing benefits of being creative together.
Each day-long session starts with a group activity, skill sharing or discussion, before people are invited to develop and work on a personal project. Participants are encouraged and supported to explore their interests and develop their own creative voice through a range of materials, techniques and creative prompts.
Courses are based in community spaces in Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich and Lowestoft.
There is no session on 29th October.
Our experienced Project Officer Charlie Meyer will, as usual, create a safe and welcoming space where everyone can be creative and make new friends.
Our 8 creative sessions are led by talented artist Shelly O’Brien: “Hi Brave Artists, My name is Shelly. I have been a creative arts facilitator for over 10 years and a Special Educational Needs tutor for 15 years. I love working in a creative way to help people develop, thrive and have fun. Working with textiles is my favourite thing as I love the different colours, patterns and feel of the fabrics. I enjoy the process of creating and sometimes just seeing where that leads. I enjoy oil pastels, charcoal, painting and sketching; especially drawing people. Most important to me is having time and space to be playful and creative in whatever way I fancy. I like the performance element of being creative too, whether that’s sharing your work in film or in a show or exhibition or festival.”
