TAKE HEART IN ART
Our Take Heart in Art project provided fun, therapeutic and engaging art workshops. Our Artist in Residence, Sue Ripley, from Yorkshire, delivered a variety of face-to-face and online workshops that engaged families from across Pendle. These included textile mono-printing, transfer printing, shibori and brush making.
Community Arts by ZK adapted to new ways of working and created a Covid Secure environment for our community and artist to work in.
​
We also welcomed an artist from Manchester - Wil Judkins, whose specialism is illustration. Wil inspired the community online by producing artwork for people to respond to and enjoy in these dark times.
​
Take Heart in Art explored shared experiences and values, providing an opportunity for people to understand and empathise with others and improved overall mental health and well-being. These workshops gave participants from BAME backgrounds the chance to escape from the disruption and stress of their situation and bought back a sense of togetherness, joy and comfort through art.
People are often able to express in their artwork that which they cannot express in words; inevitably, this improved communication and alleviated the suffering caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
