From mosaic stained-glass mirrors and sun catchers to cling-film art and plasticine creatures, Hetty van Gurp
provides imaginative and practical ideas that go far beyond the typical "join the dots" type project. Illustrated
throughout, Fridays with Heather: 55 Art Projects for Dementia Care contains step-by-step instructions for
projects that use household and other easy-to-find materials to create art that is simple, open-ended, engaging,
and fun for all involved.
Fridays with Heather: 55 Art Projects for Dementia Care is a response to the rapidly growing number of people
with dementia, and research showing that creativity has a positive impact. It is also an intimate account of
Heather's dementia journey-the author's sister-in-law and friend-and the Fridays they spent and still spend
together making art.
