The dot painting workshop at the cultural centre is not to be missed!
The dot painting workshop at the cultural centre is not to be missed! It was educational but also heaps of fun. My kids could have quite happily sat all afternoon painting, I know I could have. It’s such a great introduction to indigenous art by a local Anangu artist and I felt very privileged to have been a part of the workshop.
