Join a friendly Chinese drawing group at Campsie Library where families can learn basic drawing and sketching skills together. This welcoming session is ideal for parents with school-aged children who want a relaxed, creative Saturday alternative or a weekend morning activity. The class runs in Mandarin and focuses on practical techniques, observational drawing and encouraging creativity.
This monthly drawing class starts on 6 February 2026 and continues on the First Friday of each month at 10:30–12:00. It is free to attend though participants are asked to bring their own materials (A3 paper, 2B pencils). The workshops are designed to be accessible for beginners and those wanting to refresh fundamentals in drawing.
Parents will appreciate the calm, structured environment that supports kids' confidence and fine motor skills through drawing practice. The group atmosphere is supportive, making it a great way to meet other families while encouraging artistic development in your child.
You can expect a relaxed, instructor-led session focused on fundamental drawing skills that parents and children can enjoy together. The emphasis is on learning through doing—sketching from observation and practicing basic shading and line work.
Sessions often include short demonstrations followed by hands-on practice. Bring A3 paper and 2B pencils so you and your child can participate fully. The tutor communicates in Mandarin, which is ideal for Mandarin-speaking families or those wanting a bilingual arts class.
Typical outcomes include improved confidence with pencils, a better eye for proportion and simple composition, and a few finished sketches to take home. The setting is family-friendly and tailored toward school-aged children, but all ages are welcome as long as children are supervised.
When: First Friday of the month, 10:30–12:00. The program begins on 2026-02-06 and repeats monthly. Times are rounded to standard schedule blocks to fit school routines and morning drop-offs.
Cost: Free. Materials: Please bring A3 paper and 2B pencils. These simple supplies let children experiment with line and tone without a big expense for families.
Format: Short demo, guided practice and friendly feedback. Sessions are suitable for beginners and those wanting casual creative time. Parents can join in to support or sketch alongside their kids, making it a practical after-school / weekend creative activity.
Campsie Library and Knowledge Centre, 14/28 Amy St, Campsie 2194. The library is centrally located in Campsie with local public transport links and nearby parking options for families driving in with art supplies.
The workshop meets inside the library's community space; please arrive a few minutes early to settle in and set up materials. Use the library entrance and follow signage to the event room—staff can assist if you need directions or accessibility support.
For parents juggling school runs, the morning time slot is chosen to be family-friendly and convenient. If you need help with directions or access, calling the library ahead is recommended to confirm any temporary changes or closures.
Language: The group is conducted in Mandarin (Chinese), which is helpful for Mandarin-speaking families and a gentle introduction for bilingual children. If language is a concern, the activities remain largely visual and hands-on.
Supervision: Children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. The library environment is safe but please stay with younger attendees to help with materials and personal needs.
Health & Safety: Bring your own pencils and paper to minimise shared equipment. If your child has specific needs or requires additional support, contact the library team by phone to discuss arrangements before attending.
Price: Free to attend. There is no fee for the class itself, but participants must bring basic drawing materials (A3 paper, 2B pencils). This keeps the session accessible for families and encourages creative practice at home.
Booking: The event listing does not specify mandatory booking. To be certain of space or ask about attendance, call the library on the provided number to confirm. This is useful if you plan to bring a larger group of children.
Contact: For questions about the drawing group, timing or accessibility, please contact Campsie Library directly by phone. They can confirm dates, any changes and advise on the best way to join the monthly sessions.
