Arts in Healthcare Workshops

For Healthcare Professionals working with Older People

Every year, HSE healthcare professionals are invited to Uillinn to partake in arts and wellbeing workshops. Facilitated by visual artist Sarah Ruttle, the workshops offer the opportunity for healthcare workers to relax and be creative in a warm and welcoming space.

The sessions invite participants to explore art in the context of building their own creative confidence in making and working with various art materials. While making, conversation explores arts in the context of working with older adults and ways of working with artists who visit healthcare settings. An important part of the session consists of healthcare workers giving themselves the opportunity to take time out to maintain personal wellbeing, reduce stress, and warn off burn out through engaged and relaxed workshops.

Over the years, participants have explored printmaking, wire sculpture, paper art, and exploring traditional art forms in a contemporary way.
