Art can help the healing process.

This week it has been my privilege to help to run a design project at St Williams School, Bolton. I have worked with the lively year 2 class, aged 6 and 7 years, and with the class teacher helped the children talk about the tragic loss of Mustafa, their class mate who died in an accident in May this year. We talked about what they remembered and loved about him and I encouraged them to put their ideas down in the form of pictures. The results have been amazing and I am going to make their designs into a stained glass window for the school as a lasting memorial to Mustafa. Life can be short and we need to treasure the time we have with our loved ones.
