We popped into one of the first sessions at NGV International and lost ourselves in creating for a couple of hours – before heading off to explore a new exhibit (by David Shrigley).
The Children’s Festival features a number of amazing artists and designers – giving you good excuse to come back for more. The workshops we visited were the Opal Billabong with Linda Jackson (and we got to meet her!) and Wearable Creatures with Cat Rabbit. (see our photos below)
