Create your own colourful and textured canvas using a unique sand painting technique.
About this Event

Ages 3+

In this immersive workshop you will design and make your own colourful canvas to take home using a clever sand painting technique that you can recreate at home.


Cultural Collaborations invite everyone to connect to culture and country through art making, playing and learning together. They are a unique duo each bringing their own art form to the workshop. Nikita offers a space to explore Aboriginal art and symbols using natural elements from the earth to paint and yarn. Caleb brings the sound element for healing and dance through the didgeridoo — whether you move your body or sit and relax, the contemporary sounds will transport you as you practice your art.
