FAQs

We depart from and return to the museum foyer.
What else does the workshop include?
This workshop includes our ferry trip to Cockatoo island return and about 4 hours on the island exploring the amazing historic spaces there.

Can I bring my own SLR camera?
All camera equipment is provided for this workshop so you actually don't need to own or bring anything, and we would encourage you to use the equipment we have on hand. If you are really keen to bring your own device, you can do so and the facilitators will do their best to support your learning using that model/make of camera.
