Museum & Art Swindon - Art Outreach Sessions

Women of the World

A group established by Zoe Norton and supported by Fayeza Sadat, at Swindon Hub. Creations include clay medallion hangings using plants found in Wiltshire, inspired by: Marlene Hartmann-Rasmussen’s work, Nightfall (2014 -2015), and Perfume Bottle – Grayson Perry (1985); wire herbariums, inspired by Todd’s Herbarium; tin embossing and relief printing inspired by art in Un/Common People.

City of Sanctuary Open Families

City of Sanctuary Open Families at Central Library. This is a group attended by parents and their pre-school children. During sessions we created clay fossils inspired by our Jurassic collection, and paper cut gardens inspired by the Desmond Morris painting, ‘A Girl Selling Flowers’

Ukraine Families

Ukraine Families where we created paper cut characters also inspired by the Desmond Morris painting, ‘A Girl Selling Flowers’; relief printing inspired by the artwork, A’nu; and clay decorations.

"Many of the women had never tried working with clay before so it was a great learning opportunity for them, it also enabled them to come together to meet new people in a safe environment, enabling them to relax and switch off for a bit from their day to day problems, and reduce social isolation."
