A creative booklet for adults experiencing memory loss, their families and carers.

While memory may change, creativity and the scope for self-expression remains. Lonradh at the Crawford is an arts programme for older adults experiencing memory loss, their families and carers.

Lonradh takes its name from the Irish word for radiance, brightness or resplendence, which is also the title of the stained glass window by James Scanlon on the grand staircase of the Crawford Art Gallery. 

Lonradh is led by Artist Facilitators Gillian Cussen and Inge Van Doorslaer, and they have devised a booklet with the aim of reaching people who cannot travel to the gallery. It is called the Lonradh Sessions and its designed for use with individuals, small gatherings, and in care settings. The booklet presents eight different art sessions, introducing a variety of techniques and materials. 

The booklet is now available for €5 in the gallery bookshop.

You can download an Irish language version of the booklet here.

It is available for free to older adults with memory loss, carers, dementia-friendly community groups and health professionals.
