Y Ty Celf is pleased to be working with Links Mental Health Charity and Swansea University, Life Science Department on a Health and Wellbeing Project called Creating Nostalgic Moments, this is possible through funding from Arts Council of Wales for 2025/26.
We will be running creative workshops focussing on the wellbeing benefits of reflecting on nostalgic moments to foster positive emotions. Y Ty Celf will be working with Links at Queen Victoria Road on projects such as movie nights, walking & sketching groups, making memory books and more.
At Y Ty Celf, the project extends to working with young people using different creative mediums to explore what Nostalgia means to different generations. Stradey School will be welcomed back, working both in small groups and on our Intergenerational workshops with Spark Art -Dementia Friendly Group exploring nostalgia with a range of workshops such as still life drawing and painting of nostalgic objects such as sweets and toys.
For adults we will have a varied programme of workshops such as creating landscape paintings of woodland, countryside and sunsets, working with glass to produce vibrant and tactile mosaic, vintage collage and glass gilding and glass back painting combined with glass gilding.
Creating your own 3D assemblages of your treasured memories
Nostalgia and pop culture, culminating in a poster design of an imaginary, idiosyncratic film poster.
