|
| Working with women residents of a medium secure unit in the South West, nesa’s Pathways Programme is providing enjoyable, stimulating art sessions on weekends. |
| Through collaboration with the women, Development Worker Deborah Aguirre Jones has found that fun, learning and experimenting are high on their wish list. |
| After selecting 12 ‘taster’ sessions from proposals sent in by artists, participants have so far painted on silk; made simple, chain bracelets; created books and pop-up cards; written poetry and prose; and built brightly coloured edible sculptures out of sponge cakes, icing and marzipan! |
| Graffiti has been particularly popular; a series of three boards were completed for display in the unit and a trip is being planned to see ‘Banksy Versus Bristol Museum’ at the city’s Museum & Art Gallery |
| Informally, residents have described enjoying the Pathways Programme saying, for example, that they can ‘express themselves’ and ‘get away from the ward’ in the Sunday afternoon sessions. The project’s long term aims are for arts activities to become part of normal provision within this service and to support women when they leave medium secure care. |
