Fruit & Vegetable Printing

Discover the hidden patterns inside fruits and vegetables and turn them into imaginative works of art!

In this playful printmaking workshop, participants will use paint-covered fruits and vegetables to create colourful prints and unexpected textures. From the rings of an onion to the shapes of a capsicum, every print reveals unique patterns that can inspire new ideas and stories.

Once the prints have dried, participants will look closely at the shapes and marks they've created, just like finding pictures in clouds. Using pens and markers, they can transform their prints into creatures, landscapes, characters or anything else their imagination discovers.

This hands-on workshop combines printmaking, drawing and creative storytelling while encouraging curiosity, experimentation and imaginative thinking.

Story Faces Clay Workshop

Who is your character? What story do they have to tell?

In this creative clay workshop, young artists will sculpt expressive faces full of personality, imagination and emotion. Inspired by people they know, memories, feelings or entirely fictional characters, participants will use air-dry clay to create a unique face and bust sculpture.

Along the way, they'll learn simple hand-building techniques while exploring how facial features, expressions and details can help tell a story. Is your character brave, mysterious, joyful, curious or something else entirely? Through clay, participants will bring their ideas to life and discover how artists use sculpture to communicate character and meaning.

This workshop encourages creativity, observation, storytelling and self-expression in a fun and supportive environment.

Roll for Creature! Create Your Own Mythical Beast.

What happens when a kangaroo gets butterfly wings, a crocodile tail and glowing horns? Roll the dice and find out!

In this imaginative hands-on workshop, participants will invent their own unique creatures using a fun dice-based prompt system. Each roll determines different features such as animal parts, habitats, special abilities, colours and characteristics. Participants can follow the dice prompts or let their imagination take over and design a creature entirely from scratch.

Once their creature is planned, participants will bring it to life by building a 3D sculpture using a variety of art and craft materials. Along the way, we'll explore where their creature lives, what it eats, how it behaves, and what makes it special.

This playful workshop encourages creativity, storytelling, problem-solving and imaginative world-building while giving young artists the opportunity to create a creature unlike anything seen before.
