ArtCare organises regular creative workshops for staff at the hospital allowing them to ‘wind down’ after work. The Staff Arts Club workshops aim to relieve stress and combat isolation for those working alone. The sessions provide a ‘taster’ of many different visual and performing arts, which staff may then decide to pursue in their own time. Previous activities have included pastels, stained glass, watercolour painting, life drawing, ceramics, photography, singing, belly dancing and many more. The programme consists of one-off ‘Discover’ workshops and ‘Explore’ courses held over several weeks.
