The Living Arts Space is offering a range of school holiday workshops for kids inspired by its latest exhibition, PICNIC.
The workshops are tailored to different age groups, with activities ranging from Teddy Bears’ Picnic-inspired paper plate weaving, to making your own bunting and creating show-stopping party t-shirts.
All workshops are run by local artist Katie Jacobs and cost $10 per child, with all materials supplied. Workshops are limited to 10 children. The Living Arts Space is located in the Bendigo Visitor Centre, on Pall Mall.
