-
A guided workshop where participants can explore various domino toppling techniques and work towards an end goal utilising their new skills.
Perfect for adults, children, and people looking to try something new in a structured space. Creative problem solving and working together as a pair or a team is encouraged. Such sessions often take place in smaller settings and range from 1-2 hours long.
Tickets are purchased ahead of time and spaces limited.

A relaxed workshop where participants are encouraged to explore domino art at their own pace, with guidance available throughout the session to prompt creativity.
These sessions are perfect for beginners in domino art as well as those looking to expand on their current skillset. Drop-ins often take place in larger spaces and run for 2-4+ hours.

Domino toppling is the perfect activity for a birthday party or other celebration!
Parties can be anywhere from 1.5hrs - 3hrs, with the ability to provide enough dominoes and accessories for upwards of 30 guests. (For higher numbers, please specify upon contact)
A location can be secured for the party to take place or I can bring the dominoes to your home if you are celebrating there.
Session pricing is variable based on number of guests, location and duration. Please email info@toppleacademy.com to explore how we can make the day as special as possible!
