‘Home Tweet Home’ | Creative Kids & Adults School Holiday Workshop

Do your children love to create?  Do you love creating with your kids?  Or maybe you just love these little birdhouses and want to make one of your own?

In this whimsical workshop, students will receive a plain wooden birdhouse to make their own.
Using high quality artists paints, you’ll bring your birdhouse to life and then add some finishing touches using rhinestones, glitter, paint pens…..whatever takes your fancy.
We’ll also show you a few paint techniques for decorating should you wish.
One side of the roof of this birdhouse is hinged and can also be used as a treasure box.

Each will be an individual, unique creation so they may not look like those pictured, but will be a reflection of yours/your child’s imagination and creativity.

Finally, you will be able to ‘adopt’ a little bird for your birdhouse to take home!

Date & Time:
Thursday 9th April
10.00am – 12.00 noon*
The studio will be open 15 minutes before the start time.

This workshop can also be booked on demand (on a date/time of your choosing) with a minimum of 4 people.
Bring your friends and have some creative fun!
Just get in touch and we’ll organise a day that suits.

*Please note, we will do our best to get your piece dried before you leave but you may be required to leave them to dry (if desired) and pick them up at a later date. We can also varnish your birdhouse if you wish for you to pick up a few days later.

Why Do a Workshop with Us?

Here’s what makes us different from other creative spaces.

•  All our Tutors are experienced in teaching and have many years of experience working with their respective mediums/in their field of expertise – for most of our tutors this is over 15 years experience.
• Our workshop sizes are always small with no more than 10 – 12 students.
• We provide a friendly, inviting space and cater for many challenges you may face  (health issues, food intolerances, anxiety, etc, etc.). Many of our students (and some of our tutors) suffer from chronic illness and have special needs. If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to Dani who will do her best to help you out;
• We use only high quality materials/products in our workshops and myself and our Tutors are familiar with how these work and can give you accurate information/answers to your questions;
• Students are able to browse our 1500+ products and purchase if they wish to either before, during or after their workshop;
• We offer payment plan options on most workshops as we understand that finances can be tight (please email if you’d like to take advantage of this);
• We are fully insured and there is always someone on site who has a Level 2 first aid qualification and asthma management training. All tutors who are working with children have current, valid Working with Children Checks.
• We offer ‘after workshop’ support for all our students. Students can ask questions of our tutors and refresh any information they need to after the workshop via email, phone or in our Facebook group especially for students.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to seeing you at the Studio very soon!
