As part of the Desert Mob Marketplace, the artists of Ernabella Arts return to mesmerise us with a live ceramics demonstration, applying their walka (design) to ceramic vessels using the sgraffito technique.

Ernabella Arts has a distinguished history as Australia’s longest running Aboriginal art centre and the art centre’s renowned ceramic studio was established just over two decades ago.

This event offers a chance to talk with Ngunytjima Carroll, Elizabeth Dunn, Ann Nginyangka Thompson and Derek Thompson, as each depicts their Tjukurpa and connection to country and culture using sgraffito.

This event is free to attend. Be sure to view the full Desert Mob program of events at www.desertmob.com and plan your visit.

Desert Mob is presented by Desart in Mparntwe, on Arrernte Country.
