Squiggla Workshop: Ballón Assemblé mark making machines with Jack Hadley

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.

Jack Hadley is an artist and educator based in Tāmaki Makaurau. In a wide-ranging practice that spans sculpture, furniture and contemporary jewellery, Hadley layers references to architecture, the decorative arts and children’s toys and pairs industrial materials and manufacturing processes with the traditional techniques of fine jewellery. Hadley holds a BFA (2012) and an MFA (2021) from Elam School of Fine Arts. Recent exhibitions include Polypody, Laree Payne Gallery, 2023; Arts & Crafts, Gallery Funaki, 2023; and Living Room, Objectspace Ōtautahi, 2023.

Developed to accompany Ballón Assemblé, this Objectspace workshop is delivered in collaboration with Squiggla, a creative mark making programme developed by The Chartwell Trust. Squiggla is a tool that helps people of all ages to develop creative thinking through the power of mark making.

Ballón Assemblé is a Chartwell 50th Anniversary Project, marking the Chartwell Collection’s first acquisition in March 1974 and the 50-year contribution to Aotearoa arts that the Trust has made since.
