Workshop No.2

This time at the hospice we were paired up with patients, to find out more about them and start planning how their doll will look. I think that in general, the workshop went really well. The art pavilion was filled with chatter, and most people were quite happy to talk about themselves; their personalities really started to come through. We also started filming their stories about ‘How I’d Like To Be Remembered’, which will be the basis of the animations we make to project onto the dolls. I found the workshop really challenging, but on the other hand I think that that makes this project all the more important. If certain patients aren’t confident in talking about themselves or their feelings, this could be a great opportunity for them to have something really positive done for them, and for them to take part in it also.
