School Holiday Art Workshops

Our next school holiday art workshops will be held in

Miramar, Wellington

9am-12pm

Day 1: Monday, 29th September 2025

Stamp & Squish: Symmetrical Insect Painting

No insects will be harmed in this stamping and squishing workshop! We celebrate
spring and nature by welcoming back beautiful flowers, plants and two of the
most colourful flying insects - the majestic monarch butterfly and the
fascinating dragonfly. We will get creative with stamps, squish painting and
symmetry while learning about their life cycle, anatomy, behaviour and their
significant contribution to the eco-system.

Day 2: Tuesday, 30th September 2025

Gum & Gelli: The Humble Honey Bee

Warning: this can get messy! We will explore creating the humble honey bee
with gel and gum. The Gelli Arts gel printing plates will make their return to
the workshop along with a new art partner - the drawing gum marker. We will
continue our exploration of printmaking, paint resist technique and learn
about geometric shapes, texture, all about these clever creatures, their
crucial role in ensuring our food security and how we can attract them into
our garden this season. A perfect mix of science, art and a little bee magic.
