Summer School Holiday Program

We'll be harnessing the sunshine to create shadow drawings using watercolour and pencil, upcycling familiar materials to create a beautiful hanging mobile, and exploring colour and composition in a unique pin board collage.

Facilitated by our Education and Public Programs Officer, Stephanie Hicks, these sessions offer children an opportunity to discover and explore art materials, processes and ideas in a playful, relaxed and supportive environment.

All materials provided.
