Ripples Workshop - Ruby Rose Bancroft
This workshop will guide participants in drawing inspiration from the natural landscapes of Birrabirragal land, where the gallery is located. Rubyrose will demonstrate her process of observing natural patterns and details, and how these observations inform her unique meditative line work.
This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature and explore creative expression through Rubyrose's insightful techniques. This workshop will be an enriching experience for all attendees.
