‘Colour Me Purple’ is a project organised and devised by The Courtyard as part of their ‘Creative Ageing’ initiative. Madeline Norris is one of four artists who were successful in their application to work on this two year visual arts mentoring scheme. Each artist is supported by The Courtyard in Hereford and mentored by artist Jeanette McCulloch, while they embark on a two year programme of facilitating arts and crafts workshops to older people during 10 week residencies in different care homes across the county. Madeline will be working on a textile collage project for 1o weeks (one afternoon each week), with us at The Forbury, inviting residents to explore different fabrics and techniques to make tactile banners.
