Erica Gray, one of the artists showing in Here and Now: Gold Coast Triennial, leads this textile-focused ArtLab!
Learn how to mark up a design using a template, to create your very own monster accessory. Have fun making while learning a variety of techniques needed to work with textiles. The process involves elements of design, cutting out, hand sewing and decorating.
Children must be accompanied by an adult or carer and cannot be left unsupervised at any time, thank you for your understanding. Adults don’t need to purchase a ticket as you are attending in a supervisory capacity.
