About this Death Cafe

This summer the National Centre for Craft & Design hosts it’s very first Death Café, complementing our Cause & Effect exhibition that presents a thought provoking exploration of artists’ responses to adversity. The show centres on a body of work by ceramicist Julian Stair - Quietus: The Vessel, Death and the Human Body, exploring the containment of the human body after death.

In acknowledgement of Stair’s work, the Death Café will take place on Mon 4 Jul 2016

The Death Café welcomes everyone aged 18 or over to come together with others and join the discussion. Chocolate cake will be provided and other refreshments can be purchased in our Café

About Wendy Oldeshaw

Wendy Oldeshaw, who has supported people in the local community and aspects of their lives for many years, will facilitate NCCD’s Death Café. The group discussion has no set agenda or themes and the gathering doesn’t offer grief support or counselling but an opportunity to 'increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’.

On the upcoming discussion, Wendy says:

‘Within the circles of family and friends I have been fortunate to be involved in positive conversations about death, dying and loss, life and living.  And having experienced loss in each decade of my life, I see the benefits of these conversations and introducing the Death Cafe within the wider arena of our area."
