Slither and Climb: Create Your Own Snakes and Ladders Game

Join us for a children's art workshop where you'll have the chance to get creative and craft your very own Snakes and Ladders game! Inspired by a vibrant art exhibit by Bernard Ollis, Snakes and Ladders, this workshop will spark your imagination and let your artistic talents shine.

In this workshop, an art educator will guide you through the process of designing and decorating your game board using a variety of art materials and techniques. You'll learn how to draw snakes, ladders, and other fun elements to make your game unique and exciting.

All materials will be provided, so all you need to bring is your creativity and enthusiasm! At the end of the workshop, you'll take home your personalised Snakes and Ladders game to enjoy with your friends and family.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to unleas-s-s-h your creativity and create a game that's truly one-of-a-kind!
