Immerse your children in a vibrant celebration of First Nations culture during NAIDOC Week with these interactive art workshops held at Toowoomba City. Designed especially for young minds, these sessions invite children to explore rich cultural stories, symbols, and totems while crafting their own unique clay Emu Eggs.
In these workshops, children will be guided by Stacey, a proud Mandandanji woman and director of Baru Maranga Culture Collective. Stacey brings passion and cultural knowledge to each session, helping kids understand the importance of caring for Country through storytelling and art. Participants will create their own Emu Egg and a nest to take home, making the experience both educational and hands-on.
The workshops are tailored to encourage children’s curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. Each session lasts one hour and is suitable for school-aged children accompanied by a guardian. All materials are provided, and children should wear clothes that can get a little messy with paint. Guardians can supervise from seating provided but only children need tickets.
These workshops take place at Ground Level, Near Dymocks, Margaret St, Toowoomba City QLD 4350. The venue is accessible and centrally located, making it easy for families to attend during the day.
Please note that bookings are essential due to limited places. Children must be accompanied by a guardian at all times. The sessions are free of charge, and the environment is welcoming and supportive, focusing on cultural education and artistic expression.
The workshops are free to attend but require prior booking to secure a place. Multiple sessions are available on various dates from July through September 2026, with three time slots each day: 10:00-11:00, 11:30-12:30, and 13:00-14:00. Reserve your spot early to avoid disappointment.
