Join us for an exciting workshop designed for young creatives aged 13 to 25. Dive into the world of mixed media and discover the magic of layering different materials to create unique drawings and paintings. This workshop is all about the process, learning new techniques, and having fun with creative experimentation.
What to Expect:
-
Hands-On Learning: Experiment with various media applications, learn tricks of the trade, and then break some rules along the way!
-
Diverse Techniques: Combine drawing, painting, and printmaking, switching between small-scale and larger works.
-
Materials: Work with inks, graphite, coloured and conte pencils, chalk, charcoal, paint, and collage.
-
Collaborative and Individual Projects: Create both collaborative pieces and individual works.
-
Take Home: Leave with a range of media tests and experiments, and at least one finished work.
-
Exhibit: Work from this workshop (plus two more workshops to come) will be selected to form part of our inaugural Youth Vibe exhibition as part of Tactile Arts 2026 exhibition program.
Why Join? This fun and engaging workshop aims to foster a love for creative experimentation where discoveries are more important than the final pieces (although there’s bound to be some masterpieces created along the way!)
Please note: This workshop explores the same theme as the session held in April 2025 but will be delivered in a different format. If you’ve already attended the previous class, we kindly encourage you to give others the opportunity to participate this time around. Check out our other kids’ workshops on our website!
This event is sponsored by the Northern Territory Government!
