WEEKEND WORKSHOPS

Following is a list of the weekend workshops that we are looking forward to holding during Term Two at BSA.

BSA Workshops are usually held over one weekend, from 10am to 4pm. Workshops allow for intensive focus on a diverse range of visual arts subjects and mediums, with experienced teachers who are nationally-recognised practicing artists.

Some of the workshops we list are particularly unique opportunities to engage with national and international artists who are visiting the area and offering cultural engagement with our community.

All classes are held at 112 Dalley Street, MULLUMBIMBY
