WA Reconciliation Week Aboriginal Art Class 1 Jun 24

Join us for this beginner-friendly class, led by Wardandi Bibbulmun woman Dale Tilbrook.

You will learn about the meaning behind the symbolic shapes and colour combinations used in traditional artworks, as well as try out the dot painting application technique for yourself. Once you've mastered these new skills, you'll be able to unleash your inner artist and design and paint your own artwork.

As you get creative with your paintbrush, Dale will also teach you about the Dreamtime stories and the distinctive parts of Aboriginal culture and way of life.
