This project brings together Julia Rowlands; Arts and Health practitioner and professional artist and the Kernow Young Carers which aims to improve the quality of life for Young Carers across the whole of Cornwall.
The original Carers Colour Group, was for adults and was set up in 2005 by Julia Rowlands, a young carer herself who looked after her mother as a young teenager. Based on the use of intense colour, and its liberating effect, this project involves 5 weeks of workshops for young carers, giving them the time to dedicate to themselves and their own creative interests. The work made will be shown in the Royal Cornwall Museum in 2018.
