Ruth's art classes at our Dementia Day Group have been amazing for both clients and the staff. Her method of teaching and guiding allow our clients to participate and enjoy painting and drawing. all of the clients really enjoy the classes and it gives them the opportunity to work on a piece of art of their own and they are very proud with finished painting.

Ruth has been our resident art teacher at Chesalon Day Centre for 18 months. I particularly like the way she enables clients to have the confidence in drawing by breaking it down for them and going at their pace and speed so as to not make them feel like they can not do the art work. Our clients are blown away when they have completed a piece of work and have been known to say " did I really do that "thinking that they are not initially capable and because of Ruth's patience and teaching techniques they are able to produce some fabulous pieces of art. This year we had them copied and had them turned into personalized cards which have been amazing. I would recommend Ruth and I have also recommended her to other organizations. The clients really do enjoy working with her and so do the staff.
