Creative activities are key to this process, working with clay, plant materials, and repurposed objects. Residents are invited to create personal and symbolic forms that reflect identity, memory, comfort, and care. This offers alternative ways of communication and self-expression, particularly for those who may find verbal expression challenging. Meaning is often conveyed through gesture, making, and shared attention. Horticultural activities further support reflection, as planting and tending to growth introduces gentle parallels with childhood memories and cycles of life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span>Building relationships gradually, the artist will facilitate five gatherings with family and friends within the project to enable alternative methods of exploration and conversations about care, choice, and end of life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":41302,"template":"","class_list":["post-41301","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\u2018The Studio\u2019 at Beaufort House with artist Penelope Lacey - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Studio offers weekly sessions for residents over a 7 month period with artist Penelope Lacey.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-studio-at-beaufort-house-with-artist-penelope-lacey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u2018The Studio\u2019 at Beaufort House with artist Penelope Lacey - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Studio offers weekly sessions for residents over a 7 month period with artist Penelope Lacey.
