Story + Board
Draw it, fold it, build it, play it! Kids will dream up characters and adventures, turn their stories into mini comic zines and build their own 3D games. An unlikely hero, a ridiculous plot twist or a game with rules only they could invent. Their world, their story, their call!
Tuesday 6th oct | 9:30am - 12:30pm
Cyanotype Printing
Arrange it, expose it, watch it appear! When art meets science, a little sunshine works wonders. Kids will experiment with blooms, feathers and leafy finds to create brilliant blue prints on paper and linen. A little imagination, a splash of water and something spectacular to take home!
wednesday 7th oct | 9:30am - 12:30pm
Fashion Haus
They can dream it - let’s design it! A bold accessory, a wild outfit or something wonderfully unexpected, kids know what they like! Step into the Fashion Haus and become designers for a day exploring colour, texture and pattern as they let their personality shine.
Week Two
Monday 12th oct | 9:30am - 12:30pm
Canvas Masterpiece
For the ones who love just painting! Absolute beginners can create amazing paintings in only one day. Not quite paint with me, but along side instead. Each kid has time to find an idea and then the guidance to see it through onto canvas for an artwork that holds this part of them in time.
Tuesday 13th oct | 9:30am - 12:30pm
Sculpture Lab
Build, balance, twist and stack! In Sculpture Lab, children will explore shape and texture as they create their own sculptures from a mix of interesting materials. A curious creature, an imaginary invention or an idea that takes shape as they go.
wednesday 14th oct | 9:30am - 12:30pm
Ocean Treasures
Dive into colour, texture and a little underwater imagination! Children will paint, print and create, taking inspiration from ocean creatures, curious rockpools and treasures washed ashore. A colourful reef, a shimmering shell or a sea creature dreamed up along the way.
Session Flow
Children are welcomed into the studio and invited to explore the creative space. This gentle arrival time allows them to settle in, connect with the environment and transition into a creative mindset.
1
Each session begins with a story, conversation or hands-on invitation that sparks curiosity and introduces the day's theme or materials.
2
Children spend most of the session experimenting with art materials, making discoveries and creating at their own pace. Whilst we gently guide and encourage them, they are allowed the freedom to follow their own ideas and interests.
3
As the session comes to a close, children have the opportunity to share their creations, talk about their discoveries and celebrate the unique ways everyone approached the experience.

“Classes are the perfect balance between creativity, fun, and skill building, encouraging children to express themselves while gently developing their artistic confidence.”

Sparc Classes are held at Kin Creative Space in Kingston Beach, located behind the Kingston Beach Community Hall.
Parents and carers can stay for the session or come back at the finish time to share the efforts and the experience of their child.
After your session, you're perfectly placed to wander down to the beach, visit a local playground or enjoy a coffee at one of Kingston Beach's nearby cafés.

In short no, all holiday classes are drop-off for children aged 6–12. Though if parents wish to stay thats totally fine too. There is a lounge area and a small kitchenette with fridge you can use also.

We recommend comfortable clothes that are suitable for art making and getting messy. We do have smocks available but I find most kids are just happy in what they already have on.
-
Please bring along any snacks, lunch and a water bottle. We will stop for breaks when suitable but kids are able to access their bad at anytime they wish.
All art materials are provided.

No, not at all. Sparc school holiday classes are designed for kids to try new things and experiment with different materials. They will have autonomy during class with gentle guidance and assistance along the way.
