25.01.2022 Wednesday 7 October we have our CITY Kids Camera Workshop! We get to explore, sculpture, architecture, public art and more! These workshops are all about teaching some new skills and building interest, so that budding artists can be inspired! Still spots left! See you tomorrow under The Cactus (big green sculpture in Forest Place)!

24.01.2022 Today's Kids Camera Club Workshop in the city was awesome! A great group of kids, some interesting parts of the city explored and new skills learnt and ideas generated! See y'all next holidays! Huge thanks to the amazing Cyrus!

21.01.2022 Who has two thumbs and a set of keys for an amazing building in Freo that could one day be a Children's Museum??? Me! Early days yet and many steps to go...but hopefully this is the real deal... Watch this space, and cross your fingers, pray, anything you think may help!!

12.01.2022 Do your kids love photography? We have two Kids Camera Club workshops coming up next week! The 1st, on Monday 5th October is at the amazing Canning Eco Education Centre. We have a look at their little museum, and take a bushwalk through the gorgeous wetlands, stopping at different interest points along the way. Our resident Photography teacher Cyrus can spot crazy bugs, hidden birds and other wildlife from a hundred paces, so all sorts of opportunities arise for our budding photographers! Bring a camera, phone, tablet, whatever! Come and walk with your kids or just drop them off. For more info and tickets, check out https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/kids-camera-club-nature-tra

02.01.2022 Tomorrow is set to be a lovely 21 degrees, perfect for our Kids Camera Club NATURE TRAIL Workshop (Ages 5 - 10) at the beautiful Canning River Eco Education Centre. Here are some photos taken by a mini photographer on a previous walk - her mum put them all in these gorgeous little collages! Spots still available - click the above link for info.

01.01.2022 Mini Update: This year started strong with the introduction of our Summer Art Camp Classes. We started our hunt again for a suitable building for the bigger museum idea, as well as somewhere permanent to hold classes and other activities - and were making headway until Covid hit, then all doors seemed to shut once more. The dream of starting what I want to be a large scale and very beautifully crafted and thought out project - unlike any Perth has seen specifically dedicated... to children before - is a longer one than initially imagined. Real life and work takes time from the main focus, and this year has been crazy for everyone. In these upcoming holidays I have decided not to do the day long art classes, but take the time to email/call and conduct meetings in order to concentrate on finding a building and re-focusing on the bigger picture. We will be holding some Kids Camera Workshops in week 2 of these holidays, and will plan another Art Camp (in more venues) and more classes and events in the summer - and maybe even during term time - so watch this space! Thank you for following this journey, coming to classes and watching this all grow and evolve (fingers crossed) - however slowly this may seem! See more
