Day One
Uluru
Experience: Dot Painting Experience
The fun and organic dot painting workshop in the township of Yulara, Uluru will bring out your inner artist. You will be taught by a local Anangu artist, you’ll learn about traditional art, symbols, tools, our language and more. Be inspired by the ancient ways of the desert and create your very own work of art to treasure. Through the workshops our artists will share a part of their culture with you, so you can learn and create something to take away with you. The workshop does not enable you to do dot painting on a professional level, but will leave you with a greater understand of Aboriginal culture and art.

Hermannsberg Historic Precinct is rich in art history and the home to two iconic art movements. Albert Namatjira was the pioneer of the Hermannsburg school of watercolourists at Ntaria (Hermannsburg). Many artists from the Hermannsburg community and region continue to practise using the watercolour and landscape style developed and popularised by Namatjira. The precinct is also the home of The Hermannsburg Potters. The Potters are a group of Western Arrarnta artists working in the hand-coil and pinch technique. The artists build small and large terracotta pots which often feature an iconic sculptural lid referencing elements or characters in the painted body of their pots.
