At Creative Journeys, our workshops and programs give children and teens the chance to explore their creativity, express their feelings, and build confidence in a safe, supportive space.

From painting and sculpting to hands-on crafts, every activity is designed to spark imagination, encourage mindfulness, and nurture self-discovery — helping young people uncover and celebrate their own unique creative voice. Learn more here!

Give your child a full day of creativity, fun, and friendship at Creative Journeys. In this hands-on workshop, students will explore mixed media techniques to create a unique portrait of someone or something they love and admire.

No experience is needed—just curiosity and imagination. By the end of the day, every student will take home a framed artwork to hang on the wall proudly.

Tuesday 30 September – Mindful Mandalas with Shells

Join us for a calming and creative day at Creative Journeys. Students will explore mindfulness through art, using shells and other materials to design and create their own mandala, a beautiful piece to display or hang at home.

If the weather allows, we’ll take a short beach walk to collect inspiration and connect with nature. Together, we’ll practise being present, spark creativity with all our senses, and learn simple strategies to keep calm.

What to Bring

• Morning tea, picnic lunch, and snacks
  
• Water bottle
  
• Hat and sunscreen (for the beach)

Wednesday 1 October – My Safe Haven

In this hands-on workshop, children will use mixed media and natural materials to design and build a 3D model of their own Safe Haven. It can be a home, cubby, or special space where they feel secure and at peace.

This creative process encourages imagination, self-expression, and reflection on what makes us feel safe and supported. By the end of the day, each student will take home a unique artwork filled with meaning.

Thursday 2 October – Calming Box Creations

Spend the day making art that soothes and supports. In this workshop, students will create and decorate their very own calming box, filled with handmade tools such as fidgets and a calming bottle.

Through fun, hands-on activities, we’ll also explore worries safely and gently, while learning simple strategies to calm the body and mind. Every child will take home a personalised calming box to use whenever they need support.
