Intensive Care Leavers Project
Join our friendly and specially trained Artist Facilitators Brenda Read-Brown and Amy Freeman at City Works in Alfred Street, Gloucester.
Word Play has been co-designed with and for people who have been through intensive care. The course combines visual arts and creative writing to give you opportunities for doing things you might never have done before. We’ll use collage and cabbage, a briefcase and a banana, and many other ideas to help you make pictures, poems and stories.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or an expert, there will be something for you to try in a comfortable, supportive atmosphere with no pressure to produce a perfect creation – the fun lies in just having a go! Bring an open mind, and you’ll find that it all ends with a magic box.
