Looking for a creative and engaging workshop for your kids these school holidays? Join us for a fun and exciting art and craft class in Melbourne.
In this workshop, your children will learn about acrylic painting and fluid art while exploring their artistic side.
Under the guidance of experienced teacher Julie, your kids will get to create their own acrylic painting, adding marks from everyday objects on top of the painted canvas and Fridge Magnets.
To add an extra touch of magic, each child will get to experience the fascinating world of fluid art. With no brushes required, they'll learn the technique of pouring paint to create stunning paintings. In this school holiday period we will do the 'dip' and 'reverse dip' style (the style varies each holidays). Please note that these paintings will need to lie flat to dry and can be picked up from the studio in 2-3 days' time.
At our workshop, parents and carers are welcome to stay as observers or helpers, although it's not required unless your child needs individualized support. (Please let us know if you want to stay in the checkout comments.)
If your child is not able to follow instructions or needs more support than one staff to eight children can provide, then please discuss this with Julie prior to booking.
Parents/carers may also participate with their child (and book a ticket), but only one adult per child or group of children.
You can feel at ease knowing that Julie holds the necessary qualifications and checks (Working with Children Check, Police Check and NDIS screening check) to ensure a safe and professional environment.
This workshop is not only about learning new art techniques, but it's also a chance for your child to explore their imagination, build confidence, and make new friends along the way. They will be proud of their creations.
Knowledge required
No prior knowledge or skills required.
 
What you'll get
Participants are provided with all supplies provided including: acrylic paint, pouring medium, gloves, apron, cups, tools, three small canvas and three fridge magnets.
 
What to bring
  • Drinking water will be provided, but you are welcome to bring drinks and (nut free) snacks.
  • We use acrylic paint that is non toxic. Remember to wear old clothes as it can be a messy business, and whilst the paint and mediums will wash out if you get to it quickly, that is not always easy to do.
