Children's Workshop: Miniature Heroes 5+ | SEPPELTSFIELD

Children's Workshops at JamFactory Seppeltsfield

Take inspiration from our current exhibition, 'Game On’ - a collection of work by First Nations artists which celebrates the passion, energy and culture of Australian Rules Football - and sculpt your own favourite footy star or every day hero. Using colourful plasticine as your sculpting medium, you’ll first build an armature before creating an animated action pose of your chosen character.  

This workshop is suitable for children aged 5 years and over (guardians and caregivers are also welcome to book in and participate). All tools and materials will be supplied; bring a reference photo for inspiration or work from memory!
