Kat Creations

KAT Creations was formed in 2010 to run a creative Art & Craft Workshop Program for groups of Residents in Nursing Homes in Dublin, Ireland. Our Art Projects were originally developed for groups of older Artists in the Care Environment who required a little assistance to complete their artworks, but we have discovered to our greatest delight that our projects are being enjoyed by all kinds of adventurous groups of Artists. A few that we know of are - Families getting creative together, Youth Groups decorating their spaces for special occasions such as Halloween and Christmas, Moms drinking tea and making hand painted cards and picture frames, Craft groups making things to sell at their local fete. Our Projects are designed for groups from 4 to 12 Artists of any ability, where some might have done art before and others not. Most participating Artists are able to hold a paint brush in one way or another, although some may be limited in their motor skills such as not being able to use both hands, and many may experience shaking hands, poor eye sight and other physical and/or cognitive limitations. Paper Tulpis (15@72) Our Art & Craft Projects are designed to be simple and easily manageable by most. Each Project takes the Artist on a journey where he or she can participate as they choose at the level they are able. With encouragement the Artists can produce something creative and uniquely individual. These workshops lead to the production of Works of Art that do not resemble something perfectly made in a factory or by an expert. They are true handmade treasures! The Projects are not really about the art at all, but about the person doing the art! Its not about how well they can do the art, but what the experience of doing the art can do for them. it's about having fun and self expression.
