Explore your inner world with this reflective drawing workshop. Exercises are designed to help you move past any fear of drawing and get your feelings out on a page. The aim is not to produce a piece of fine art, but to approach whatever emerges with curiosity and play. This workshop is designed to explore the themes from Science Gallery Melbourne’s exhibition MENTAL.

I CAN’T DRAW. Can I come? Yes! People of all levels of experience are welcome. The run time is approximately 90 minutes + optional stay and share. All materials will be provided but if you have a favourite pen, colouring implements or notebook, please bring them along.
