Friday 22 July: Creative Arts Club for Older Adults (60+): Printing with Light
10:00am – 12:00pm. The Creative Arts Club is a new club for older adults which will take place once a month. Studies have proved that creativity is important for our health and well-being, as is environment and the company of others. The aims of this group are to bring these together: we will learn new creative skills, share stories and enjoy companionship in the beautiful setting that is Bell House, Dulwich. In this month’s workshop we will learn how to make cyanotype prints, also known as blueprints or photograms. There is something very ethereal about a cyanotype print, the simplest of objects can make a hauntingly beautiful image. Bell House Dulwich, 27 College Road SE21 7BG.
