If you love the idea of creative exercise, where you get to stretch your imagination and test the boundaries of your favourite materials, or even take a few creative risks, come and join our workshops. After all, Squiggla’s creative mark making programmes are more like gymnasiums than classrooms and are all about hands-on imaginative making - so we give you lots of fabulous materials and papers that are irresistible to use as you build up a composition of lines, dots and marks, shapes, colours and materials. You might notice how you see, feel and observe the world around you in new ways. With Squiggla, there are no mistakes, just experimentation and inventiveness.

The workshops, guided by Squiggla’s experienced teachers and artists, are packed with great ideas to get started, help you find your own creative groove and share ingenious mark making techniques. Squiggla throws out the rule book that says you have to draw ‘something representational’, so you are free to generate your own unique abstract compositions.You might even invent a new mark making tool that you can share with others. After all, in the making process, you will begin to trust and relax.

Squiggla is an all-ages programme, so you are invited to exercise and embrace your creative thinking with whānau and friends and together you can feel the freedom to be creative.
