Art Bag Coffee Morning

 

The Peace Hospice are running an Art Bag Coffee Morning on Friday 25th January in their Creative Therapies room at the Hospice from 10.30am – 12 noon.

Art Bag is a collaborative creative project between Peace Hospice Care and the Hospice of St. Francis.

Each bag includes a simple art activity that, when completed, is returned to either hospice.  Artworks will be displayed in a collective exhibition, visually representing the unity and energy of both hospice communities.

This year’s project is supported by London-based artist Sophie Alston and the theme is ‘contemporary cross-stitch’.

Everyone is welcome to attend the Coffee Morning, so why not come along and create your own cross-stitch art work.
