I’m very excited to be collaborating with @skcc3015 To coordinate and run recyclable art classes, which will be free to all participants. This has been possible through an Environment grant from Hobsons Bay City Council.

Tuesday 1st October
Session 1 9-12 noon. Aged group 4-6 years
Session 2 1-4 pm Aged group 7-10 years

The theme is 'Enchanted forest’, we will be drawing inspiration from artists who use recycled materials to create their work. Participants will work on collaborative and individual pieces of art which will be displayed at an exhibition that will decorate the hallway at the SKCC with a big opening planned. We also need lots of volunteers to help facilitate the program and put the exhibition together. If you are interested in joining this program either as a participant or volunteer please pop into the centre and leave your contact details. It’s a great opportunity to get involved with your community, meet new people and most importantly have fun. We also need donations of materials which can be dropped off at reception, such as egg cartons/trays, scrapbooking paper, clear plastic and paper straws, bubble wrap, plain and patterned fabrics (cotton preferred) not cotton and has a great pattern we still want it, buttons, large and small soft drink and water bottles (coloured and clear), jars, wool, ribbons, fabric dyes, paints, crayons, textas, hola hoops, fairy lights, etc. #vernonstreet3015 #madeimmelbourne #melbswest #afterschoolprogram #schoolholidayprogram #schoolholidayfun #artclass #artschool #kidsactivities #innerwestmelbourne #upcycle #recycle #recycledart #recycled ...
