Feather Painting Workshop - Gracetown Kite Festival
Description
As part of the 2026 Gracetown Kite Festival, this special workshop will be held in the Gracetown Community Hall, offering a relaxed and immersive creative experience as part of the festival weekend.
In this guided step-by-step session, you’ll be introduced to the process of painting a Red-tailed Black Cockatoo feather in a shared creative learning space. The session will be taught in two blocks, with a focus on understanding the nature and techniques of watercolour painting in the signature style of the artist, with a short interval halfway through.
Designed to be both relaxing and immersive, this workshop welcomes all skill levels, no experience needed.
Working from one of two real Red-tailed Black Cockatoo feathers, you’ll use artist-quality materials to create your own A4 archival artwork to take home. You’ll also receive a “How to Paint a Redtail Feather” manual, so you can revisit the process and continue painting at home.
The workshop includes thoughtfully prepared nibbles, tea and coffee.
