Skateboard Artwork Workshop for Kids

Tricia Van Der-Kuyp (Wiradjuri) is hosting another of her legendary skateboard art workshops. This special opportunity will give kids access to working side-by-side with a First Peoples artist who encourages breaking the rules of art. Each kid will have a blank skateboard deck on which to create their own mixed media artwork. Tricia will demonstrate a range of skills and techniques for participants to explore their own style.

• All materials supplied, including blank skateboard deck.
• This is a workshop designed for children ages 7 – 12.
• Parents and carers are not required to supervise, but should remain onsite for the duration of the workshop.
• Please bring an apron or smock (or clothes that are okay to get dirty).
