The Arts and Older Adults

Adele Reeves

Visual Arts

I love to work with all ages and especially love what the older population brings to the creative flow. With a lifetime of memories draw from and to share, there is a richness and important history to record and preserve. When I work within the theme of “I AM Nature” I often use prompts asking us to remember moments of when we felt in ‘AWE’ or in love with nature.

Sample workshop:

Self portraits in relief. A bas relief sculpting workshop using clay and other supplies foraged from nature, Adele will guide participants to express their love of Nature, or BIOPHILIA.
We can work with air hardening clay, or with a clay that can be fired in my kiln (off site)

Materials:

Clay, mixed media (from nature)

Available for:

In-person workshops, On-line workshops
