Designs in Mind CIC
Designs in Mind is a working studio, tucked away in Shropshire, where adults living with mental health challenges work together on ambitious, experimental art and design projects.
Our studio is a hive of activity, there are close to 100 of us and we believe that design has the power to positively affect how we feel, not only in how it looks but also through the experience of making.
We have been working in the community for 30 years - starting in 1993 as a project group within an NHS Day Centre, and growing to meet demand for community based mental health support and non-clinical, creative coping mechanisms.
Providing a creative purpose is changing lives, increasing wellbeing and allowing people to work towards living full, independent lives. Our workshops are a warm and encouraging safe space to talk about mental health.
Have an idea for a commission or collaboration? We would love to work with you! We create artwork across a range of mediums - ceramics, glass, textiles, print etc. - all which feature the artwork and skills of people living with mental health challenges. Working with us helps us to provide a platform for mental health, all whilst creating a collaborative art piece that will make people say "Wow!"
All profits return to the running and expansion of Designs In Mind, allowing us to provide new opportunities to more adults living with mental health challenges.
