Description

Join children's author Natalie Giles for a creative workshop where young participants will discover the joy of journalling. Through engaging prompts inspired by their own experiences in the natural world, children will learn practical journalling techniques while exploring the many benefits of reflective writing, including creativity, mindfulness, observation, and self-expression.

Young participants will use decoupage to decorate their nature-inspired journal, making it a special place for their thoughts, stories, sketches, and experiences. Suitable for ages 8 to 12, this hands-on workshop combines writing, craft, and imagination in a fun and welcoming environment.

Natalie Giles grew up in South Australia near the beautiful Barossa Valley. She is a first-time author of her children's picture book "The Guardian of West Oak" which released in 2025. She holds an Oxford Creative Writing degree and was awarded the Denis Diderot scholarship to attend the Chateau d'Orquevaux Artists Residency in France

Bookings essential, and all materials provided. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

The City Library is the largest of our libraries. This modern library is located on one level and offers a variety of programs and services for everyone.

The city centre is serviced by all forms of public transport including trains (Adelaide station 650m), trams (closest stop Rundle Mall 280m) and buses (closest stops in Grenfell Street - F4 and G2 northern side and T3 and T2 southern side).

For public transport routes and timetables see the Adelaide Metro website.
