What to Expect
Dive into the vibrant world of street art with expert guidance from Cameron Marbus and Paul Zoeller of Western Sydney Murals. These workshops offer a hands-on experience where you and your children can explore the exciting techniques of aerosol painting, graffiti markers, and stencils. Each participant will create their own small artwork to take home, making it a memorable and creative family activity.
You'll also have the unique opportunity to contribute to a collaborative mural that will soon brighten up Blacktown CBD, giving your child's creativity a public platform. This is a fantastic way to engage with urban art culture in a safe and supportive environment.
The workshops are designed to be fun and educational, perfect for school-aged children and their parents looking to try something new and artistic during the school holidays.
