Benefits of Art Classes like leading a Creative Life
15 October 2019Students like Lorraine are helped immensely by Art Classes at Māpura Studios.
Lorraine attends the Leading A Creative Life course, on Thursday mornings, which provides a supportive, instructive and stimulating environment for people living with stroke-affect (or similar disability), to develop a strong visual arts practice. Tutors provide ongoing input regarding methodologies, techniques, media and guidance re subject matter so artists are supported in the ongoing progression of their art making capabilities and knowledge base.

Lorraine enjoys creating abstract art works and is inspired by Fullham pottery: “I like abstract images. I doodle at home and I get inspiration from the abstract. I have a family connection to Fullham pottery and that inspires some of my work. Dalton was an apprentice at Fullham. I feel spiritually receptive. That is an element in my making work.”
