Our workshops change every school holiday period, so activities vary throughout the year. Popular favourites include our 2-Hour Crafts Workshop, 4-Hour Crafts Workshop, Blackout Neon Workshop, Nuggy's Mine & Shine, Personalised Resin Names, and a range of seasonal art and craft activities.
Depending on the workshop, children will complete 2–3 creative activities during the session. All workshops are fully guided and hosted by our team and typically run for 2–4 hours, depending on the session/program.

Can’t wait to come back again! My daughter went for the first time doing the 4 hour workshop and loved it. Couldn't stop telling me all the fun she had creating all different things.
