Book excerpt: 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.
