Squiggla is a hands-on mark-making activity for young and old alike. You'll get the chance to create your own Squiggla works and unleash your imagination. By discovering the possibilities of mark making and leaving behind the pressure to make art or represent something you see in the world, you'll uncover fresh ways of looking, feeling, sensing, thinking and observing. 

Squiggla is developed as the outreach programme of The Chartwell Project.
