Real techniques,
happy messy hands
Our sessions are full of chatter, laughter and paint-splashed aprons. Kids get so absorbed in creating that they forget about the clock.
Guided by a professional artist
Lucia's artwork has been exhibited from Sydney to LA and Dubai. In the studio, she's a calm, playful guide who makes every child feel at ease.
Small, relaxed groups
Plenty of one-on-one help, so every child learns a new technique and leaves proud of their piece.
Everything included
Paints, clay, stencils, gems, glitter and aprons are all waiting on the table.
Drop-off friendly
Hand over at the door and enjoy some kid-free time. Our artist holds a valid Working with Children Check.
What a beautiful way to spend an hour! Lucia was so warm and friendly and the workshop was thoroughly enjoyed by our three children! Highly recommend for any children who enjoy art and are ready to explore beyond just a paint brush.
Things parents
usually ask us
What ages are the craft workshops for?
Our kids craft workshops suit ages 6 and up. A few sessions, like the Christmas Pillow Case, are made for grown-ups and are labelled on the card.
Where is the PLAYCARNIVAL studio?
Our studio is in Caringbah South, in Sydney's Sutherland Shire. Our Father café, a playground and local shops are right nearby, and the beach is a 5-minute drive away.
Can I drop my child off?
Yes, our workshops are drop-off friendly. Parents drop off and pick up in person, and our artist holds a valid Working with Children Check.
Do we need to bring anything?
Nothing for most sessions. We provide every material plus aprons. For T-shirt workshops, bring a plain tee or add one on when you book.
What if we can't make it on the day?
You can reschedule for free with 3 days' notice. Spots are limited, so we don't offer cancellations.
