This Makuru season, John Curtin Gallery returns with an engaging set of creative arts workshops designed for children aged 8 to 14 years.

Our qualified team of facilitators and gallery staff will ensure support for children in a structured and well-supervised setting. School Holiday workshops are open to children of all abilities and no prior skills are required. All JCG programs are inclusive, accessible and convenient for diverse learners.

Materials will be provided for each workshop, and sessions will include worksheets, visual material and fun interactive activities.

Kindly note, due to the popularity of JCG’s School Holiday Programs we recommend early registration to secure your preferred days.

Workshop Details

Layering and Landscapes

Using simple non-toxic printmaking processes, inspired by James Tylor's exhibition of photographic landscapes and cultural objects, this hands-on workshop will be an adventure in layering pictures and patterns.

Working with images of near and far landscapes, artist and art tutor Emma Jolley will expertly guide students through different ways of using stencils and natural materials to create layers and marks of their own stories.

All materials will be provided, but please bring an apron or art shirt as printmaking can be messy!
