HMP Bronzefield

In 2010 Nathalie Roset, a former Watts Gallery Artist in Residence, took The Big Issues workshop programme to HMP Bronzefield. The women prisoners design and decorate a terracotta figure during a two-week period set aside by the art tutors to focus on making work for submission to the yearly Koestler Awards.
 

"The visual arts has a long history of helping people to express emotions and ideas which otherwise might remain hidden from others."

Rachel Flavin, Art Tutor
