Set within the beautiful and thought-provoking surrounds of the Once Known exhibition at the Old Perth Boys' School, this nature inspired badge making workshop is suitable for children 6 years and older.

In this free one-hour session, children will explore how artists use pattern, colour, and symbols from nature to express their connection to the world around them. They will begin by carefully observing a selection of natural objects – such as leaves, seeds, banksia and other materials – and design their own unique motif inspired by these forms.

Once their design is complete, children will transform their artwork into a custom badge using a badge-making machine, creating a special keepsake to take home.

This workshop is facilitated by Mel Macaulay, Education Coordinator at the John Curtin Gallery.

Bookings essential. Suitable for children aged 6 years+

Exhibition open as part of Boorloo Heritage Festival: 1 April - 30 April
