Arts
Extravaganza has been running for 9 years and is a project aimed
at people with learning disabilities. We run a series of day
workshops throughout the year as well as organising a series
of workshops over the summer.
Spring Arts Extravaganza
Mencap took part in Willow Weaving workshops with Caroline Lowe,
creating baskets and much more.
Summer Arts Extravaganza
Adults from Cae Melyn, Leighton Day Base, Mencap, Rhoslyn and
the local community took part in Arts Extravaganza which ran
for four weeks and on the last day there was a showing of the
art work created which centred around a Chinese theme. A huge
flame backdrop was made which was projected onto to make the
flames come alive. The visuals arts workshops were led by Ingrid
Maugham and Caroline Lowe who
created lanterns, fire sculpture and more to litter the stage
with scenery and props for the dance and drama group led by
Helen Young to perform their rendition of ‘Dong Fang and
the Festival of Lanterns’.
