Join this relaxed and inspiring 18+ workshop where you’ll transform a plain green Bunnings umbrella into something uniquely yours. Whether you’re drawn to bold florals, calming nature-inspired designs, abstract colour play, or something deeply personal, this is your chance to create an umbrella that tells your story.

This is a hands-on, beginner-friendly session. You’ll explore simple techniques including cutting, gluing, and basic hand sewing using a running stitch. No prior experience needed just a willingness to play, experiment, and let your creativity wander.

No Paintbrushes Colour Splash is a warm and welcoming creative arts initiative that brings kids together through colour, connection, and self expression. The sessions invite children to enjoy abstract art in a relaxed and supportive setting, using upcycled and natural tools instead of traditional paintbrushes. This gentle approach makes creativity feel easy to access. It is environmentally mindful, and fun for everyone, no matter their background, or experience.

Each session is guided with care and encouragement, with a focus on the joy of the process and learning new techniques rather than trying to get things perfect.

Turn everyday junk mail or old magazines into a beautiful handmade creation in this creative upcycling workshop. Participants will learn how to roll and shape paper beads, then use them to make a decorative design such as a heart, daisy or bird.

This project uses simple materials and equipment, but does require a little finger dexterity, making it a satisfying and hands-on craft for those who enjoy detailed making. With options ranging from easy to more intricate designs, participants can choose a style that suits their confidence and creativity while giving recycled paper a second life.
