The first round of our volunteers programme just finished, and here is what our great volunteers had to say about it:
“I have really enjoyed volunteering at Project Ability’s Monday Night Social club. It has been fun getting to know the regulars in the class and helping them with their art projects. Each piece of work that is created in the studio has character and is always an original. Volunteering in the class, I feel I have learnt more about different techniques etc, but mostly that I am more inspired and motivated in my own creative ideas.”
-Lori
“I love the relaxed atmosphere you immediately feel as you come through the doors. To me this is the purpose of art- pure and simple enjoyment, not profit, not public acclaim and accolades, just good old fashioned fun and inconspicuous stress therapy. I would enjoy doing this on a permanent basis as Project Ability is a place I like to spend time and feel appreciated when sharing knowledge and problem solving.”
-Julie
“I have really enjoyed my time at Project Ability. It’s an amazing place to work in and has a really friendly atmosphere where lots of beautiful work is made. I have learned a lot and feel like my teaching skills have developed. I always look forward to my workshops cause you get a chance to meet new people with interesting approaches to their art. It’s a great thing to do.”
-Richard
“I have really enjoyed the project I’ve been able to do with Gary and feel I have been learning a lot from it. The placement has also confirmed my wish to seek further work of this nature and hope that this may aid in finding other similar opportunities.”
