Kaleidoscope Network Workshop Practice makes Practice

UpSkill: Digital Dive

Thursday 15 May 2025 11am–1pm Co-work space : Shieldfield Centre

Join us for the final session of UpSkill, and elevate your digital presence in this beginner-friendly session with Meaghan Stewart! This event is also open and free to members of the Kaleidoscope Network.

This session will provide a hands-on guide to documenting and sharing your work digitally. You will learn simple, jargon-free techniques for:

  • Photographing your work and formatting images for sharing, whether online or in applications
  • Creating personal websites using no-code design platforms
  • Using social media effectively

Important things to know

If you opt to attend remotely, a member of staff will contact you on the day of the workshop with a Zoom link and more info about the session and a digital code of conduct. If attending in person, arrive by 10:45am for a prompt 11am start.

This is an interactive session, and we encourage you to ask questions, share your suggestions, and actively participate in activities and discussions. If you prefer to listen, that’s perfectly fine too!

This is a hybrid event and will take place both online and in real life.


What you need

It would be beneficial for you to bring your own laptop, tablet, or phone, along with a small piece of your artwork to photograph. If you’re not already a member, we will assist you in connecting to our Wi-Fi. We will have some spare laptops available for use if you do not have your own.

We will provide paper and pens. Feel free to bring your laptop, tablet, phone, or your preferred device.

Please ensure you have a ticket for this session. Book one below!
