Have an artistic yen and a few hours to spare in Wellington this week?

Because if you do, there’s a fantastic Mural Painting Workshop on this Friday and Saturday, December 5–6, at Kitch and Sons on the corner of Maughan and Percy Streets.

Conducted and supervised by accomplished local muralist, Jack Randell, these workshops are for everybody aged eight and up.

“This mural in Wellington is the third of three on theme of native birds, and is about telling stories via animal imagery,” Jack said.

“The first one was in Dubbo with the ibis, the next one was in Narromine with the sacred kingfisher, and the this third mural in the series will be the wedge-tailed eagle,” he added.

Also, Jack emphasised, you don’t need to have the eye of a Picasso or the brushstroke of a Rembrandt, to get involved.

“No previous art experience is necessary, just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to get creative,” Jack revealed.

“All materials will be provided, so simply come-along in clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on,” he added.

Participants will be guided through set-by-step creative activities and fun demonstrations to realise a brand-new community mural.

There are four two-hour sessions over two days to choose from, fun will be had, things will be learnt, and memories will be made, but numbers are limited.
