Got it sussed art workshop series. As part of the Got it sussed exhibition the Whakatane Museum & Gallery hosted a series of art workshops aimed at senior secondary art students. These gave insights to the certain techniques and processes that those attending could then apply to their own art practice. The workshops were Stencil Art by Zena Elliott, Graphics and T-shirts design by Manu Scott and Comic book techniques by Karl Chitham.
