| Abstract | This study seeks to assess the impact of a pottery workshop as a creative arts programme and discover the extent to which people with dementia taking part in an artistic and creative activity engage with it, experience a feeling of well-being, and improve their mood state. In addition, the study will seek to answer the question of whether taking part in a programme of creative activities improves the self-esteem of people with dementia. |

| These results indicate that attending the workshop had a positive effect on the participants self-esteem, mood and well-being. . | Future research should further explore the impact of the degree of impairment on the manifestations of well-being during art sessions and study the duration and persistence of the positive effects of creative arts programmes such as the one presented here. . | During the art sessions the participants showed higher scores in several domains of well- being, such as interest, sustained attention, pleasure, and self-esteem than during traditional activities. . | In addition, we expect those attending the pottery workshop to improve their mood states after each session, and by the end of the programme to show an improvement in their self-esteem. . | During the pottery workshop sessions, the participants manifested a positive affect and well-being that was reflected in the high scores in the domains pleasure, self-esteem and normalcy, as well as in the low scores for the domains negative affect and sadness. . | The assessments of well-being conducted over the ten sessions of the programme suggest that taking part in a creative arts activity may improve several aspects of wellbeing (such as interest and sustained attention, and especially self-esteem and a sense of normalcy) over a period of several weeks. . | In our case, we may assume that the increase in self-esteem may be due both to the feeling of normalcy (produced by taking part in a significant activity) and the participants feeling of autonomy and mastery (pride at producing ceramic pieces that they thought were beyond their reach). . |
