Dani Lee Arts

Dani Lee Arts was established by Dani Lee in response to a need for community art in South-West Wales.

“My ambition for Dani Lee Arts is to invite and assist communities to shape their neighbourhoods into unique, creative expressions of those who live and work there.”

To achieve this, Dani Lee Arts works with children and adults with a varying range of abilities in all sorts of community settings to create stunning community mosaics and earth artworks. The creative workshops facilitate participation, ownership and pride in our environment in a positive and uplifting way.

“We offer a depth of engagement in the creative process to all participants. This nourishes individuals towards making positive contributions to their area's culture and community.”

Workshops with Dani Lee Arts bring communities together in an exciting, fun and shared learning environment that encourages creative expression and collaboration of ideas.

Testimonials

  • “We at Hafal, a centre for adults recovering from severe mental illnesses, were very fortunate to have Dani make a cob mural with us.

    Dani was fun, very patient, and involved us in the processes, such as designing the mural, doing ‘The Twist’ in wellies on a tarpaulin to squish the clay and straw, and creating the design on the wall.

    In doing that cob mural, Dani gave us each a gift of some self-esteem, as well as some creative muddy good fun!”

  • “The mosaic is FANTASTIC – I’m so pleased with it. Everyone has mentioned how beautiful it is!! We hope to have another project soon.”

    Meinir Morgan, Head teacher of Ysgol Ffairfach

  • “All of Dani’s workshops in mosaic and cob have been extremely well planned and thoroughly enjoyed by our mental health groups.

    She has a friendly, approachable manner whilst being professional and fun all in one.”
