The school holidays are almost here and Artifice store has two exciting workshops for the kids.
Artifice store is excited that the master of mini landscaping Amy Wong, one of the creators behind the quirky Petite Green is doing a workshop for the KIDS!
Amy will teach your child how to create a succulent terrarium with attitude. This will be a golden opportunity for your kids to find out how to design and make terrariums from one of Melbourne’s leading terrarium-makers. Your child will learn plant selection, soil composition, terrarium care, propagating succulents and plants.
All you need to do is bring a clean 2 litre clear non-coloured glass container such as a small fish bowl, glass teapot, jam jar (no lid required). Please make sure they can fit their hand into the opening of the glass container. All other materials will be supplied including a variety of unique succulent plants, small figurines, soil, rocks and other items to create your terrarium.
Amy comes from a background in the visual arts and has a degree in environmental microbiology. We would say this makes for an excellent combination!
What kids will learn?:
• How to design and make a terrarium
• Plant selection
• Soil composition
• Terrarium care
When: Friday 4th of October, 10.30am – 12pm
Where: Artifice store, Customs Wharf Galleria, 126 Nelson Place, Williamstown
Age: School age
Cost: $65
Come and learn how to weave with the exciting Emma Davies, an amazing artist who loves pushing her materials to the limit. If you love hunting and gathering bits and pieces like a bowerbird, then be inspired by a maker that loves to explore, collect and experiment too.
In this 2 hour workshop, kids will weave their very own creation with various recyclable materials combining polypropylene netting strings and strands.
All materials are included, the only thing kids need to bring is their imagination.
When: Friday the 27th of September, 10am-12pm
Where: Artifice store, Customs Wharf Galleria, 126 Nelson Place, Williamstown

Good luck!
My little one loves doing artwork. I am happy to see her creative skill.
My little one loves anything artistic and loves planting his own gardens outside. This would be perfect for him!
My little girl would love this – they are so cute. She would think it was a fairy garden.
My son loves dinosaurs and we have just recently made a dinosaur garden at home, but I know he would love the Terrarium idea!
Um, ashamedly I am pretty sure our Mr. 8 does not yet have any idea what a terrarium even is or how much he would absolutely thoroughly enjoy attending and making one of his own! I’ll be paying for the extra one for myself as well! 😉
To watch them use their imagination and relish getting their hands dirty to make something beautiful!
My daughters love to use their imaginations to create many things this would be perfect I would love to see them shine and make something special and be happy
My kids always ask questions about nature. It’s a fun way for them to understand how an ecosystem works. The finished product will help educate and it’s something they can be proud of because they made it themselves.
My daughter loves making things, and she would to make one of these of her own.
My 6yo daughter recently attempted a DIY terrarium (all her own idea), but it went mouldy! She would love to learn how to make one properly.
My adorable niece who is coming to visit would love to make her own mini world, where dinosaurs can roam! What an awesome way to learn about plants and then get to take her work home and care for it! I would love to win this for her x
What a wonderful unique thing for my girls to experience. Having 3 girls who love a variety of things I think that this would be a perfect way to end the school holidays, something for them to talk about when returning to school
