In 2016/17 the Bdc were delighted to again work with health and social care partners Person Shaped Support (PSS) to deliver a third programme of artist-led workshops, to demonstrate the benefits that craft can have on a person’s overall health and wellbeing.
Funded by P.H. Holt Foundation, workshop residencies took place between 1 November 2016 – 31 May 2017 and saw new local artists working with a range of PSS groups: Christine Toh at the Women’s Turnaround Centre; Caroline Gregson, Elizabeth Willow and Sally Anne Thompson at the Umbrella Centre; Simon Shaw at The Avenue, Belle Vale; and Gill Curry at the Leeson Centre.
