Explore the diversity of mark making implements, varieties of papers, and bring out your inner illustrator. Artist Kevin VQ Dam has created a large illustration that requires your help inking in!

There will also be step-by-step guides available to help those who want to learn new skills, and lots of open-ended materials for inspired guests to explore.
