The Aloe Vera Art Group is an informal, art and social group working with artist Erica Matthews from Creative Health. The sessions will use a range of mediums (paint, clay, pencil, watercolour, collage, sewing, beadwork and many others) over the next 12 months to explore items from the Touchstones collection and how we can relate to them in today’s society. The group is social with the community purpose to reduce social isolation and improve well-being.
Starting from 7 September 2026, these free sessions are available to all and are suitable for those who are looking to improve their well-being through creativity and try out some new arts and crafts. To join us, please register for a free place by emailing creativecommunities@yourtrustrochdale.co.uk
