CREATIVE MINDS at The HOLBURNE

15 June 2025

I’ve spent the last eight weeks working with group called CREATIVE MINDS which is a young men’s mental positivity group run at The Holburne. Using an ART theme, we looked at working with soft pastels, learning technique, designing and planning a piece of work, producing a colour rough and finally working on a finished piece. As you can see, the results are amazing, especially as no one had used the medium before..they will all hopefully be hung at the museum for a short period of time. It seems everyone got something from it, I instructed but we worked as a team, I’ve loved it and was quite emotional to say goodbye. I look forward to our next project in the coming weeks.

My piece was called RUNNING FOR THE MOON (White Rabbit) as I taught by becoming part of the team rather than from the front. This seemed to work very well.
