What you'll do

You’ve no doubt glimpsed these beckoning Japanese cats from shopfronts, gesturing for you to get inside and spend some money. Now you can make your very own Maneki-Neko to enhance your fortunes!In this class, you’ll paint and decorate your own Maneki-Neko with the guidance of local artist Carla Scotto. All materials are provided, so all you’ll need is your imagination. Swipe a ticket or two right meow.Please note: This class requires at least five students to run.

Carla Scotto
4.7 (23)
Carla Scotto is a graphic-designer-slash-illustrator, former emo, vitriolic towards waste and in a state of constant existential and artistic angst. She’s fun. She’s been drawing since she could clutch a pencil and graduated from Shillington College of Design in 2015. Carla loathes unnecessary waste and is on a mission to condemn single-use plastic and shout about conscious reductionism. This theme is heavily explored in her Neopets-inspired graphics, combining cute and confronting in one hit.

Work-Shop is a creative concept that will broaden your horizons and help you unleash your inner awesome. We provide affordable short courses in life skills and alternative art. We’ve teamed up with Australia’s brightest creative minds to share their knowledge and help teach you a new skill. From 3D printing and stencil art through to music and gardening – life skills and personal development through to cooking doughnuts and mushroom foraging, we offer a broad range of fun and creative short courses to suit our time poor lives. We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals. Work-Shop will be a space for everyone, with a rotating schedule of art shows, information nights on local issues and a whole range of events and community initiatives.
