Join Jack Hadley to make Don Driver inspired drawing devices and let them loose in this special Squiggla workshop. 

Participants will use a wide range of materials to create mark making machines, then work together on a collaborative drawing project. 

Your $10 ticket covers all materials along with a light morning tea so come as you are. This workshop is suitable for ages 15 and over. Spaces are limited, so get in quick.
