Take a deep breath with us these school holidays as the cooler weather returns to Bundoora Homestead.
We’ll be getting cosy and creative together, exploring nature and embracing the changing seasons.
Explore low-fi printmaking techniques using objects gathered from the Homestead grounds, use detail and pattern to create a custom bug collection, or learn basic stitching and embroidery techniques as you sew a fuzzy friend from felt.
Facilitated by our Education and Public Programs Officer, Stephanie Hicks, these sessions offer children an opportunity to discover and explore art materials, processes and ideas in a playful, relaxed and supportive environment.
