Re-discovery: Winter/Spring 2025 programme

Join us on the first Monday of the month during our exhibitions, from 2-4pm, for our creative sessions for those living with dementia and their carers. This is an opportunity to explore materials and themes in the works on display in our current exhibitions through practical making, discussion or just meeting and connecting with other people over a cup of tea in a relaxed creative setting.

We have space for 16 participants at each session, please book by emailing [email protected]

We will be running an interim Re-discovery session on Monday 27th January 2-4pm. Based on our conversations with the group during the last session, we plan to try some clay-making and drawing on pottery.

The Spring programme which will focus on storytelling and DIY zine making, drawing from themes in our exhibition Hardeep Pandhal: Inner World.  Sessions will take place on the following dates with more information to follow:

Monday 17th Feb 2-4pm

Monday 3rd March 2-4pm

Monday 7th April 2-4pm

Each session is designed as a continuation of the last, however participants are not required to join all three sessions if they are not able to do so.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided at each session.

The sessions will also be an opportunity to engage with the artworks in the Drawing Room gallery and be co-facilitated by artist and Rare Space coordinator Charlie Harrison and Drawing Room librarian Yamuna Ravindran.

From 2024-2025 Drawing Room is working in partnership with Rare Space on these sessions.  Rare Space is an exciting new venture for Rare Dementia Support (RDS) which brings together and celebrates the creative and cultural life of RDS members, both in person and online.
