Mental Health Awareness Week
Here at Oriel Davies we believe passionately in the power of the arts to connect with nature and improve wellbeing.
Oriel Davies Gallery teamed up with Powys Teaching Health Board, Open Newtown and Plant Life to run a series of free creative workshops Between May and July for people who were experiencing challenges with their mental health. This project - Clwb Crefft - was funded by Arts Council Wales.
Clwb Crefft is based on an arts and nature wellbeing model developed by Oriel Davies with creative practitioners working with traditional craft skills to support the wellbeing of adults in North Powys.
Animator Efa Blosse-Mason produced a thoughtful short animation based on feedback from one of the project participants.
