Little Makers

School holidays mean we have a little more time to make something fabulous. Kids Studio workshops start with an idea — then we give kids the materials, show them a few tricks and let their imaginations take over. This time, we’re making glowing paper lanterns. Start with a plain lantern and completely transform it. Layer it with tissue and patterned papers. Cut, tear, collage and play with colour. Then add long trailing ribbons and fabric before popping a little lightRead More

Fairy Garden Morning is all about magic, tiny treasures and the joy of making something special. We’ll be creating recycled fairy dolls, decorating wands, filling tiny potion bottles and making our own glowing mason jar fairy gardens. There’ll be plenty of beautiful bits and pieces to fossick through — glitter and tiny mushrooms, flowers and beads, soft tulle, ribbons, butterfly wings and all sorts of miniature treasures. They can choose what catches their eye, mix things together and add allRead More

Our Little Makers and their big people will each create a Christmas wreath together, choosing all the bits and pieces that make it feel like theirs.

We’re filling Lumina with: The Ice Cream Station — playdough scoops, toppings, sprinkles and ridiculous creations. Messy Art — fingers, stamps, paint and plenty of permission to make a mess. The Mad Scientist — mix it, fizz it, watch it bubble and see what happens. The Cardboard Box City —Read More

There’s something pretty special about handmade Christmas decorations — the ones that get carefully packed away, then pulled out again year after year and put straight back on the tree. We’re adding another layer to that joy by making them together. Little Makers and their big people, sitting around the table, choosing bits and pieces, making a mess and creating decorations that become part of their family Christmas. We’ll be making Christmas decorations from clay, felt, paper, tinsel, ribbon andRead More
