Winter School Holiday Program
Next date: Wednesday, 01 July 2026 | 11:30 AM
to 12:30 PM
Enjoy some cosy crafting at the Homestead these holidays.
Winter is here and we've been spending lots of time indoors — a puppet made from recycled materials might be just the friend you're looking for on a cloudy day! Or make a gorgeous garland to brighten up a cosy nook.
Building on the success of our felting adventures last holidays, we'll also be running two special sessions for 8-12 year olds looking to grow and share their textile skills. Kids can bring their own projects to work on, or get started with weaving, french knitting or embroidery.
Facilitated by our Education and Public Programs Officer, 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 Textile Time is 8-12 years old. All other sessions 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.
