Monday After School Art Club | Creative Craft in Port Kembla

Term 4 After-School Art Club

Tuesdays | 3:30–4:30pm | Ages 5–10 years

9 weeks from 18th October

A relaxed, creative after-school session where children can experiment with art, craft, construction and mixed media while creating something completely their own.

Each week we explore a different hands-on project using a wonderful mix of art materials, natural treasures, textiles and recycled materials. There is no single “right” way to create — children are encouraged to experiment, make their own choices and let their imaginations lead the way.

Drop-off is welcome, with parents and carers also welcome to stay if they would like to.
