Artist and author Tai Snaith will read her children’s picture book, Slow Down World, which takes us on a journey towards living in the present moment. The reading will be followed by a practical workshop led by Tai, where kids will use clay to create pictures of their worlds.

The workshop is for children and families, suitable for ages 3–12 years.

Children must be accompanied by a guardian.

This public program accompanies the exhibition and is proudly supported by the City of Darebin's Community Grants Program.

Cost

Free to attend! All welcome, bookings essential for each child attending.

About the Facilitator

Tai Snaith is an Australian artist and author based in Naarm/Melbourne with a practice encompassing painting, ceramics, conducting conversations and broadcasting. Her work often marries the act of making with the telling of stories: connecting and creating meaning through verbal exchange and dialogue, and creating visual symbols from spoken ideas. Tai's practice employs many different forms of research and processes and presents them via widely varying outcomes and contexts. Her work is often personal, collaborative and experimental.
