Pavement Art workshops and collaborative, community artworks can be structured for casual "drop-in" or intensive involvement for children, youth, and adults. 

Ulla has worked at many schools creating display art in-situ whilst talking to school groups, including-Methodist Ladies College, Mount Scopus College, Catholic Regional College, Sienna College, Geelong College.  A great activity during Art Week to inspire students...

Ulla has a Diploma of Education (secondary Art/Craft), a Working with Children check, and over 20 years experience designing and conducting art workshops. 

Ulla also runs workshops in pavement art for youth and adults.

The Chalk Horse - of Scone

Known as Australia's horse capital, this workshop was designed accordingly as part of the Horse Festival, and enthusiastically coloured by St Mary's students

Ulla's workshop events can be tailored to your needs.

From Frog Rivers to Horse festivals and Cherry Weeks, Ulla's popular workshops range from small group work, to major multi-day events, including formats such as:

Melbourne Museum Big Draw 2005

Produced as a part of Drawing Australia program, the Museum won an Innovation Award from the Vice Chancellor at Macquarie University for this program. 

Many school groups, and the public, contributed to this major public artwork.  Children sketched items from the museum collection, and had a talk about pavement art before working on the pavement, in public.  Many hundreds of pictures were drawn over the week-long program.  Workshop designed and produced by Ulla and assisted by Chalk Circle and museum staff.  This was a major event.

Giant Boomerang -  with animal designs at Moomba Chalk the Walk Melbourne.

Designed by Ulla for Chalk the Walk's workshop program at Art Play during Moomba festival, many school groups and the public came to draw.  It's very rare to get such a great big space to use, without fear of inundation from crowds (we were on the car park roof at Federation Square) .  This has been my largest community workshop design, over about 300square metres.
