RawArt is a collaboration between Charnwood Arts, the NHS and Rawlins Community College. It runs every Monday, usually through the School holidays from 3.30pm-5.30pm. Adults with long term mental health illness are welcome. The sessions are free to attend although we do ask for a contribution towards refreshments. Occasionally we will buy in an activity and ask that you contribute whatever you can towards that.
The group works with a member of staff ,artist. or another group member each week to learn new skills in a creative environment. Recent projects have been, a group mosaic project, textiles, drawing and printmaking project and Raku pottery sessions. We have just hung and exhibition at Charnwood Museum called 'Tea With Alice' this show continues until April the 7th 2013. We are now working on things for Picnic In the Park, our annual community picnic on June 8th.
