HYPATIA WOMAN
OF THE MONTH
October 2024 - Jayne Howard - Director of Arts Well
Congratulations to Jayne Howard, our Woman of the Month for October. Jayne is the Creative Health Associates Programme Manager at the National Centre for Creative Health and is also the founding Director of Arts Well CIC - a social enterprise that places arts and creativity at the centre of health and wellbeing.
Her belief in the power of creativity to transform wellbeing in communities and individuals is grounded in a career in education and public health; over 20 years of initiating, advising and collaborating on arts-based health projects in Cornwall.
We asked Jayne, what do you owe your mother?
“A love of literature, poetry in particular, which has been an absolute mainstay in my life. I can remember my mum reading poems to me when I was quite young – The Highwayman, Arabia, Kubhla Khan, Tarantella – and I know these off by heart now. Although I didn’t always understand exactly what they were about, I fell in love with the words and the feelings they evoked.”

Create a Portrait
Women of Cornwall Workshop
Thursday 14th November
This workshop is one of a series taking place at a number of venues throughout Cornwall in 2024. The workshops are part of the Women of Cornwall project by Art Centre Penryn and ceramic artist Katie Bunnell, working in partnership with Kresen Kernow and The Hypatia Trust.
The project is gathering stories of women who have contributed in some way to Cornish culture and will culminate in the creation of an exciting new public collection of 50 plates featuring women of Cornwall.
This relaxed 2-hour creative workshop for adults will use photographs, collage, drawing and written word to make a cameo portrait of an important woman in your life. No previous skills in art or portraiture required!
Workshop tickets are available via Eventbrite:
