Sue's back in Whyalla for CuttleFest 2024! Discover more about the Australian Giant Cuttlefish of Whyalla with the added benefit of being so close to Stony Point during Cuttlefest 2024. If you've already been in the water or seen these phenomenal sea-beings with your own eyes, then your creative and illustration work may have an 'extra something'.

This was a lovely way to spend time with the kids during the school holidays. It's unusual to find activities that we can do together and all enjoy. Sue was wonderful and the kids love the sea animals. I would highly recommend. This was perfect for kids and adults." - Brigid 

Hone your observational superpowers and try some innovative techniques developed by Sue. It's a dynamic and engaging few hours where you'll learn a little more about some quirky marine animals, study them and begin to draw natural forms. You'll be encouraged to also bring in objects from nature that inspire you. This may be a step toward discovering your own, unique style.
