Creative Wellbeing Week
19-25 May 2025


22nd May 2025



Creativity and Wellbeing Week (19-25th May 2025) is a partnership between London Arts and Health and the Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance.  Now in its 14th year, the week is an opportunity for thousands of creatives and arts and cultural organisations to showcase the amazing, wide-ranging work they are doing to support health and wellbeing around the UK and beyond.


As part of this annual event, we asked participants of our Saturday Art Club at the Creative Space to create works of art inspired the work of Sarah Evans - one of our artists from The Collection at Milton Keynes University Hospital.

For the artworks, art club participants used a spirograph to create the geometric patterns. Other lines, letters and doodles were then added onto the pieces.

︎A Spirograph is a geometric drawing device that creates intricate designs known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. It was developed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965.

Here is a gallery of the fantastic work created by the group:




The artist Sarah Evans produced a series of artworks on paper called Hyptrocroid. She used a spirograph and added line drawings to complete her intricate pieces.
