Colour Your Life, Arts on Prescription

'Colour your life aims to provide free access to artistic and creative activities promoting positive mental health and well-being'.

Check out their Promo Film which has just been released this week at:

For the last 3 months i have been working on a Wednesday at The Lodge in Blackhill and Consett Park...and have recently changed over to the Tuesday sessions in Stanley (Venue changed). I have facilitated many Creative Techniques from Batik to Quilting and Printing. Being part of their creative journey over a long period you begin to see how the arts dramatically contribute to positive mental health and change lives. We recently did an evaluation and one piece of feedback read: 'If i didn't come here, i wouldn't leave the house'. Colour Your Life really do provide an essential service.

Here are a few of the outcomes from a variety of the workshops! The colours are fantastic!
