Our school holiday workshops are perfect for ages 5–12+ years old. If your child is younger, we suggest an adult accompany or assist them. Older children are also welcome, although select workshops may suit their interests better.
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.
Yes! Most workshops are designed so children can take their creations home at the end of the session. The exception is our Resin Names Workshop, as the resin requires curing time before collection

10/10 highly recommended! My two girls did the school workshop today and had the best time! Tamie held the workshop and did a fantastic job with so many children. We have been before and will be back again!
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.
