The Kintsugi Project

So many people in our society people feel left out and lonely. This might be because they have a disability, long term physical conditions, learning difficulties, autism, mental health difficulties, or because they don’t have a steady place to live or have survived something traumatic.

​The Kintsugi Project is about building a better community, that includes everyone. When we talk to people who feel excluded, they tell us that they want a life, not a service. That means not just having “special groups”, only for people with difficulties, where you do an activity, ‘just for the sake of it’. It means coming together to do something meaningful, that contributes in some way and brings purpose.

​Because ultimately, we all want the same things in life;

To be included
To have somewhere to go, where we are accepted for who we are
To have meaningful things to do which are more than just ‘killing time’ or ‘keeping us busy’
To meet people from all walks of life who don’t judge us and recognise our strengths and values

Get your creative juices flowing and book into a Kintsugi Creations sessions. We work with a number of local artists who can support you to create using various mediums including painting, drawing, printing, collage and more. Our workshops are open to all, a safe space you can come to and connect with others to create art that speaks. Get in touch to book for sessions on Fridays or Saturdays! Join our diverse collective of vibrant local artists who will be able to exhibit and sell their work as part of our enterprise.
