Working in partnership with Bolton Museum and Library Service and Bolton at Home we devised a series of creative workshops based around the concept of ‘Being Human’. We believe these to be a non-stigmatised exploration of human experience, taking inspiration from the five ways to wellbeing. We used a non-direct philosophical exploration of subjects such as memories, happiness and sense of place. We linked with The Happiness Letters, part of the Mass Observation Worktown Collection, to make sculptural, installation and photographic pieces.

Duration: 3 hour workshops over 4 weeks. Each workshop can also work as a stand alone workshop.

Group Size: 12 participants 2 X facilitators
