Creative Art Sessions for Care Homes in Buckinghamshire

Bringing Creativity and Connection to Your Residents

My name is Lynne, I am a professional artist and experienced art practitioner based in High Wycombe. I provide engaging, high-quality creative sessions designed specifically for residents in care homes, day centres, and community settings.

My Approach

I believe that creativity is a powerful tool for connection, self-expression, and wellbeing. My sessions are gentle, person-centred, and focused on the simple pleasure of the creative process.

The goal isn't to create a perfect masterpiece, but to provide a relaxed and supportive space where residents can explore materials, spark memories, and enjoy a shared social experience.

I have extensive experience working with older adults, including those with memory loss, and I tailor every session to be accessible and successful for all abilities.

What I Offer

My workshops are designed to be a highlight of your activities calendar, bringing a fresh burst of creative energy to your residents.

Bespoke Sessions: I specialise in seasonal and theme-based workshops, from Autumn Leaf Printing and Paper Flower Making to festive keepsake crafts.
Ongoing Projects: Many sessions are designed to be multi-stage projects, creating an ongoing sense of achievement. For example, a fabric printing session can be followed by a session to sew the printed squares into keepsakes like lavender bags or a collaborative cushion.
All-Inclusive: Sessions are 1.5 hours and priced at £75. This includes all high-quality art materials.
Professional & Reliable: I hold full public liability insurance and a current DBS on the renewal service.

A Proven Positive Impact

I have been providing these sessions since 2008 and the feedback is consistently wonderful.

As one resident, Doreen, shared: "It's very relaxing, and there's quite a camaraderie... It gets me out of bed and it's calming because I just have to think about what to paint."

A Creative Approach Rooted in Experience

Art is a wonderful language that everyone can speak, it's a powerful way of helping people with dementia tap into their subconscious.

The focus is never on a perfect masterpiece, but on the therapeutic journey of the creative process itself. It's a gentle escape where, for a moment, people can be more than their condition.

My approach is always patient and person-centred. I am passionate about this work, with a history that includes previously volunteering and collaborating with the Alzheimer's Society on creative projects. I understand the importance of creating a calm, safe, and supportive environment where every participant feels valued.

The benefits for your residents include:

Boosting Mood & Wellbeing: Engaging in a fun, sensory activity reduces anxiety and promotes feelings of happiness.
Encouraging Social Connection: A shared group activity helps to build friendships and combat loneliness.
Sparking Memories: Themed projects can be a wonderful tool for reminiscence. As I've seen many times, "often they'll remember something they did when they were young that they couldn't recall before."
Improving Self-Esteem: Finishing a unique piece of art provides a tangible sense of pride and accomplishment.

Voices From The Art Table

Over the years, I've had the pleasure of seeing the positive impact of creativity first-hand. Here are a few words from residents who have attended my sessions:

"Being in a wheelchair I can't always do the activities at the home, so the art class is a great way of escaping from everything and just painting." - Daphne Hansen, 89

About Me

I am a professional artist and illustrator with a BA and MA in Fine Art.

I have been running art sessions in care and community settings since 2008, when a member of my own family moved into a residential home.

I have years of experience as a community art practitioner, working with organisations like Sunrise Senior Living, Care UK, Bupa, The Alzheimers Society and other independent homes around Buckinghamshire. I hold a current DBS on the renewal service and have undertaken training in working with vulnerable adults and children. I have insurance to work as an independent artist and art practitioner.

My goal is to use my skills to bring the joy and therapeutic benefits of art to as many people as possible.
