Autumn School Holiday Program
Next date: Thursday, 09 April 2026 | 11:30 AM
to 01:00 PM
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.
All materials provided. Bookings essential.
Ages
The recommended age for Felt Friends is 8-12 years old. All other session are suitable for children between 5-12 years old. Please ensure your child is within this range. A parent or carer must stay and supervise during the sessions.
Younger children are encouraged to attend our Under 5's Art Class during term time.
