On August 4th and 5th, Elias from CuriousWorks worked with young people, facilitators and Blue Mountains Council staff to train them in making their own videos and publishing online! These workshops were held at the Upper Mountains Youth Centre. This website and all the content shared here are results of those training sessions!

Below you can see a fun little video we made together during training, and some photos from the workshops.

The Blue Mountains Women’s Health and Resource Centre (BMWHRC) developed the ‘Celebrate in Colour’ visual arts workshops for young women.

The young women produced individual art works and a large collaborative piece. They painted on canvas using acrylic paint plus some mixed media, with a theme of understanding and expressing who you are as a young woman.

The workshops were run over three Saturdays in August/September and were facilitated by Sarala Porter, Gina Harrowell and Clare Delaney, Art Therapists and Sheridan Blair, Visual Artist.

Amy Beth Hill and Shelley Oliver took the video and photo’s and also edited the visual diary/interviews.

Many thanks to the young women who participated in these workshops and created such amazing art works.

Check out a summary video and lots of pictures of the artwork in progress below!
