TIMEOUT WORKSHOPS

Part of Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival 08

Working in partnership with local mental health organisations we devised a series of arts and film workshops, working towards an exhibition at The Portal which would form part of the program for the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival.

Participants tried taster sessions in Animation, Photography, Cardmaking, Feltmaking and Ceramics, before deciding which of the workshops they would like to sign up for. The standard of work produced was very impressive and, most importantly, everyone had great fun and met new people. Some of the participants discovered new interests which they decided to pursue by signing up for college courses.

We plan to continue our commitment to Arts and Wellbeing as part of our ongoing projects and are working with the organisers of the SMHAFF to co-ordinate activities and events in Glasgow South West area for this year's festival.
