Nursing home art

Well, what a result ! I supplied the bisque, glazes, brushes and stamps to a local nursing home. Really enjoyed giving a lesson to the activity coordinator in the art of ceramic painting and giving the best advice as to which methods to use for people with a variety of nursing health needs.

Its so important that we remember the therapeutic benefits of art for our elderly and infirm. The pleasure of creativity at any level of ability is both rewarding and inspirational.

Here are a few of the bisque that they decorated. I dipped and fired them in my studio kiln, applied transfers and fired again. Love my job !
