About This Event
Corral around the benches and embrace the allure of Australian seascapes, as you join us to create a unique mechanical reef. Customise and design your seascape and fish, paint your seascape with inks colour matched to species native to the Great Barrier Reef, and observe the material of your fish being cut out on the laser cutter. You will then assemble your coral reef landscape inside a glass dome and construct the mechanism to make it move. We hope to sea you there! Dead Puppet Society is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council. For more information, visit the Dead Puppet Society website.
