Our cultural arts workshops connect visitors with local Aboriginal stories, culture, knowledge and Country through art making and yarning with our artists. We can host groups of up to 20 people in our studio on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Gallery and Artist Talks
Learn more about our artists, their stories and knowledge, and our south-east Australian contemporary Aboriginal arts movement. These guided sessions with our Aboriginal staff and artists offer deep insights into culture and creativity on Yorta Yorta Country.
Yorta Yorta Yedabila Clay Animals
Our Yorta Yorta Yedabila clay workshop offers an opportunity to learn about the native animals of Yorta Yorta Country – the Bayadherra (Long-neck Turtle), Gona (Snake), Gaiyimarr (Kangaroo), Bigarrumdja (Emu).
All these animals are connected to the Barmah wetlands and Biyula Forest on Yorta Yorta Country, offering a hands-on way to engage with culture, Country, and the continuation of Yorta Yorta knowledge.
Galnyatj Nanyak Dana Art Journals
(Yorta Yorta translation: Deadly Dreaming Path Art Journal) This workshop offers a creative journey grounded in Aboriginal ways of being, knowing and doing, and connecting with Country through quiet observation, deep listening, and mindful mark-making. Guided by one of our artists, participants create a personal art.
Weaving
These workshops are an opportunity to connect with Aboriginal culture and ways of being through weaving and yarning. Using natural and hand-dyed raffia, our artists share techniques that have been passed down through generations, teaching you to create small baskets, coil keychains and bracelets.
