information SERVICE DETAILS

The Alma Project offer arts based groups for adults with mental health problems.

Elemental Art is art sessions based around the theme of the four elements – air, water, fire and earth. You will have the chance to create your own artworks and collective artworks inspired by these themes. There will also be the opportunity to try out some techniques such as paper-making and collage.

Funded by City of Edinburgh Council.

18 weekly sessions, 18 July – 14 Nov 2022.

Cost: Free

What you will need

Groups are free, but we ask that you bring along a suitable pad of paper for art or creative writing and any art materials you wish to use such as paint or pastels. We will provide any craft-based materials and materials for specific artforms such as printing, mosaic, batik etc. You will need to bring along money for tea/coffee (20p/30p)

If you are not sure whether you want to join a group or not, you can phone or email for more information, or arrange a visit.

Our groups run throughout the year. The Monday group is on at the same time and place throughout the whole year, only the themes and projects changing.

Service-user Referral Procedure

The groups are aimed at adults with mental health problems. We ask that before you join a group, you get our referral form filled in by a professional such as a support worker, CPN, GP or other health worker. The referrer should email or post the referral form to us and we will then discuss whether we are able to support you in the group or not. We will phone you with our decision.
