Caring Spaces – Online Sessions

March 18 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Caring Spaces Art Club is a gentle, welcoming monthly online art session for carers across the Lothians, offering a calm creative break and a chance to connect with other carers from the comfort of home. Each relaxed one-hour session is facilitated by artist and fellow carer Juliana Capes and features simple, enjoyable art activities designed to be easy to do at home. Carers are welcome to attend every session or just one — each session stands alone. A short list of materials needed will be emailed in advance, and any carers who would benefit from having materials posted to them are very welcome to request this, so everyone can take part with ease.

These sessions are open to carers across the Lothians. If you are interested in participating in these online sessions, please contact Gemma on gemma@coel.org.uk

A message from the facilitating artist – Juliana Capes about the March session –
For our  March session we’ll be welcoming the turn of the season and spending time noticing early signs of spring.
We’ll be looking closely at artworks that reflect seasonal change and quiet attention to plant life, then making our own simple botanical prints and drawings using real leaves and flowers.
Everything will be simple, flexible, and adaptable — use whatever you have at home. We’ll work slowly and gently, with time to look, make, and share together. Looking forward to seeing what signs of spring you find!
Any carers who would benefit from having a small materials pack posted to them are very welcome.  We want everyone to be able to take part with ease. Please let Gemma know by 11th March if this is something you would benefit from.
