BATCAT – 6-12 Year Old Program

BATCAT is a small collective of creatives within Beechworth and surrounds aiming to engage young people with art and get more creativity into the world, all the while keeping our values of sustainability close to heart.

BLOCK 1 – Beading and Jewellery Making

These Saturday morning sessions run in 6-week blocks with skills built upon each session. Each block focuses on a different medium and skill set. You can book a 6-week block, or single session as suits.

All participants receive a take-home pack at the end of the course to continue their beading and jewellery making journey. All materials are included.

6 June – Intro to beading skills and keyring making
13 June – Making bracelets
20 June – More skills and breaking down of old jewellery to make new creations
27 June – Making necklaces and earrings
4 July – Starting your beaded window cover
11 July – Finishing your beaded window cover!

There is flexibility in each session to adapt the session to meet the young person’s interests and skill level.

There is a chill-out corner for breaks and snacks are provided.

The sessions are facilitated by Charles and are limited to 8 children.

The studio is warm and inviting and parents are welcome to stay and enjoy a cuppa in our front studio while the artists are creating, or you are also welcome to leave your young person to create solo. There are bathroom facilities on-site.
