Experience a joyful and inclusive drawing workshop led by artist Nani Puspasari as part of Counihan’s Season of Drawing. This event invites children and adults alike to express themselves freely on a long sheet of paper, exploring memories, objects, feelings, or imagined ideas. There is no right or wrong way to draw, making it perfect for all skill levels.
As each participant adds their unique touch, individual stories merge into a vibrant collective artwork, fostering community connection and creativity. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to engage in a relaxed, artistic environment while enjoying the Glenroy Festival.
Bring your imagination and enjoy a creative day out where everyone’s contribution matters.
The workshop is a drop-in format, running from 11:00 to 15:00 on Sunday, 3 May 2026. It welcomes all ages, making it an ideal family-friendly activity during the festival. Participants can come and go as they please, spending as much time as they like drawing and sharing their stories.
Materials will be provided, so there is no need to bring your own supplies. The focus is on creativity and connection rather than technical skill, encouraging everyone to participate.
