This project is all about parents who are carers for their children and is offering them space away from their children to explore arts & creativity and create a display that can be showcased. All around the theme of allowing themselves & their children space to explore as often parents of children with needs struggle to let go.

Creative Lives - Unearthing Creativity
I got into the habit of using a sketchbook when I was about 15 - I still have that book!
I always have several on the go. They are places to collect ideas; try out new materials and spaces to play – especially when time is short. A simple idea can later become something much bigger, when you have more time to develop it. Having limited amounts of time is a strength because it keeps your drawing fresh, not over-worked.
An A5 (approx.15cm x 10cm) suits me when I’m outside. I’m used to drawing around people, it used to bother me at first, but now I don’t mind at all.
The final blog post will be on Creative Lives website soon…
