A series of five workshops will be delivered in April for primary students, secondary students and the broader community to help inform the design of the Skate Park Mural.
Northern Grampians Shire Council is excited to bring the Blender Studios team to Stawell to deliver a series of five mural art workshops to help inform the final Skate Park Mural Design.
Scheduled for the upcoming April school holidays, the workshop series will provide opportunities for primary and secondary-age students to learn stencilling and spray-can street art techniques, creating their own artwork to take home.
Imagery and conversations during the workshops will be considered in the mural design process.
Workshop three is targeted at the broader community and will enable valuable local input, which will also inform the mural design process. This workshop also has a practical component, with both collage and precut stencil workshops incorporated into the session.
All materials provided.
Please wear appropriate clothing.

The Stawell Skate Park Mural Project has been initiated in response to the community's wishes to see more public art (particularly murals) in the Stawell township.
Several potential sites were investigated, with the Skate Park site at North Park Sports Precinct being the most appropriate given the time constraints and operational considerations.
Upcoming community engagement for the new Arts and Culture Strategy and Action Plan will help inform council's direction in the Arts and Culture space, including public art, for the coming four years. Keep an eye on the Northern Grampians Shire Council Facebook and Instagram pages for updates.
