If you have wondered how mural painters create such large work and keep it in proportion, then this workshop is for you. This is a hands-on workshop creating a large scale artwork from scratch, using the same methods I have employed on silos and walls.
Participants are asked to bring: their own clear safety glasses approx. $5 at Bunnings and a suitable spray painting mask/respirator if they want to have a go at using aerosol spray painting cans. Available at Bunnings/Mitre10 $45 or possibly cheaper on eBay.
