Another exciting day is in the works at Derivan for 2012. We will again open our doors of our factory located in Rhodes. The day will include a variety of demonstrations from Australian artists, free workshops, factory tours and other inspiring activities still to be finalised.
A variety of arts and crafts will be on show to help unleash your creativity and visitors will be encouraged to try the range of Derivan quality paints and mediums by participating in free workshops conducted throughout the day.
And remember, entry to the Open Day is always FREE and the first 200 visitors through the gate will receive a free sample bag of Derivan products. All proceeds sales organized on the day go to Variety The Childrens Charity.
Updates and final details regarding the day's program will be posted on our Open Day Program page as they become available.
We hope to see you there to share what Derivan is all about...
