Tuesday After School Art Club | Creative Craft in Port Kembla

Term 4 After-School Art Club Tuesdays | 3:30–4:30pm | Ages 5–10 years 10 weeks from 13th Oct 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. A new take-home creation every week 13 October — Foam Clay Creations Get creative with colourful soft foam air-drying clay. Create animals, characters, dishes or anything you can imagine, then decorate with gems, feathers, sequins and more. 20 October — Nature Collage Picture Frames Create a beautiful framed artwork using real seed pods, shells, flowers and other natural treasures, combined with artist paste and paint. 27 October — Cardboard Creations Build, design and engineer your own imaginative creation using cardboard, paint, tape and a whole lot of creativity. 3 November — Mod Podge Paper Lanterns Design a colourful paper lantern using vibrant patterned tissue paper and Mod Podge.
