Age Group: 8–12 Years
Location: Thames Street Studio: 29B Thames St West Wollongong
Date and Time: Tuesday 14th April 1pm-3pm
Duration: 2 Hours of Sculpture & Secret Science
Investment: $50 (All materials included, Creative Kids Vouchers Accepted)
Step into the laboratory of the modern Alchemist. Designed for older creators (ages 8–12), this workshop bridges the gap between science and magic. We dive deep into complex textures and "hidden" art forms through large-scale sculpture and chemical exploration.
The Alchemist’s Lab: Makers brew a "Galaxy in a Jar" using pigment suspension techniques and design Power Mark Stickers—custom metallic symbols representing the hidden strengths of their mythical creations.
Mythical Totems: The main event. Using wire armatures and recycled materials, students engineer a 3D "power animal" or ancient relic. These are brought to life with traditional paper-mâché and finished with mixed-media textures, from iridescent foils to foraged organic elements.
Throughout the session, we transform the studio with The Master-Maker’s Web—a giant, 3D network of shimmering twine. As tasks are completed, creators tie in translucent "Power Marks," building a glowing, suspended map that connects every artist in the room.
A handmade Paper-Mâché Totem sculpture.
A trapped Galaxy Jar and custom Power Mark Stickers.
Participation in The Master-Maker’s Web suspended installation.
Supervised snack break and "Exquisite Corpse" creative drawing games.
