Community Art Sessions
Thanks to a Magic Little Grant through partnership between Local Giving and the Postcode Local Trust, and funding from The Arts Society, and Dorset Community Foundation we have been able to continue art sessions throughout 2023-24.
We offer small group art sessions for up to 6 women with qualified local artist Samantha March. The sessions are currently run from 1-3pm every Tuesday.
Recently the women have been concentrating on production of gel printing bags and t-shirts that are on sale in our online shop.
Community Art Programme
Time and space for creativity can make a big difference to mental health and emotional wellbeing for many of the women The Footprints Project supports. Our art programme involves small group sessions, run by an established Dorset artist, Samantha March, in partnership with our experienced staff. These regular sessions provide focus, friendship and a sense of self-belief for the women who attend. Some of our group also put on exhibitions and sell their work.
"I’m happy to have the opportunity to take part in the art sessions and find it helpful being guided by the art teacher and learning new techniques. It’s a nice place to go and do something different and I feel good when I’ve done something creative."
