Squiggla Creativity Sessions

Join our Squiggla Creativity Sessions to exercise and embrace your creative thinking with whānau and friends. Experiment with marks, dots and lines to play, make, imagine and invent – explore your curiosity and unleash new ideas! 

These sessions will take place on the first Saturday of each month from Nov 2026–Jun 2027, 1–4pm in the Creativity Centre. You're welcome to drop in at anytime, with no booking or registration required. 

Upcoming dates for 2026 include: 

• Saturday 7 November 2026, 10am–4pm
• Saturday 5 December 2026, 10am–4pm

Squiggla is a hands-on mark-making activity for young and old alike. Visitors will get the chance to create their own Squigglaworks, and learn a new technique for unleashing their imaginations. Squiggla celebrates the joy of mark making in all its forms. By discovering the possibilities of mark making and leaving behind the pressure to make art or to represent something you see in the world, you uncover fresh ways of looking, feeling, sensing, thinking and observing.

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