Be part of a vibrant community art project at Chatswood Library where you can craft leaves, birds, or insects to add to a growing tree installation. This collaborative masterpiece evolves daily, showcasing the diverse talents and imaginations of local families and artists.
Whether you’re an experienced crafter or just discovering your artistic side, this event welcomes all ages to contribute and watch the tree canopy come to life. It’s a wonderful opportunity for parents and children to engage in a creative, hands-on experience together.
The event is part of the Willoughby Council’s ‘Canopy of Life’ Tree Festival 2024, celebrating nature and community through art.
Participants will use various craft materials to create elements like leaves, birds, and insects that will be attached to a tree branch framework inside the library. The installation will grow and change throughout the festival dates, reflecting the collective creativity of the community.
This activity encourages imagination, fine motor skills, and collaborative spirit among children and their families. It is suitable for all skill levels, with guidance available from library staff.
