Brave Art Summer Programme Ipswich

Brave Art is an arts training course for adults with learning disabilities. Brave Art offers students the chance to enjoy exploring a variety of art forms whilst developing creative and life skills.

During the course students work alongside professional artists. Through professional artist-led sessions students learn new skills and gain confidence, friendships and wellbeing.

The summer programmes take place weekly in Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft and Ipswich and include advice and guidance on how to progress on to volunteering, work experience and further training.

Our experienced Project Officer Charlie Meyer will, as usual, create a safe and welcoming space where everyone can be creative and make new friends.

Our 5 creative sessions are led by talented artist Eleanor Rodwell: “Hello, I am a Suffolk-based visual artist. My practice centres around the body and its response to the environment and emotional experience. I explore this through drawing, painting, printmaking and metal casting. I am often drawn to landscape, strange natural forms, and how these can mirror emotions. Recently, I’ve completed residencies in Catalonia, Norway, Portugal and Norfolk, and I have exhibited both in the UK and internationally.”
