Join local artist, teacher, and surfboard shaper Pat McCarthy for an afternoon of painting inspired by spring blooms.

Taking inspiration from vibrant spring flowers, children will create their own floral painting on a native timber board, exploring colour, shape, pattern and brushwork along the way. Pat will guide young artists through the painting process while encouraging them to experiment and add their own creative touches.

A fun, nature-inspired workshop with a unique finished artwork to take home and display.
