Embrace your creative side this Pride Month with the Pride Penguin Pebble Painting event at Hurstville Library, designed especially for 12 to 17 year olds. Inspired by penguin power couples from the LGBTQIA+ community, this workshop invites young artists to paint pebbles as gifts for their favourite person or for the library itself. It's a wonderful way to celebrate diversity, creativity, and community spirit in a fun and welcoming environment.
What to Expect
Join fellow teens for an engaging and artistic hour where you'll learn about the charming tradition of penguins gifting rocks to their partners. You'll have the chance to paint two pebbles: one for someone special or yourself, and one to contribute to the library's collection. All materials and equipment are provided, so just bring your enthusiasm and creativity. Whether you book ahead or drop in, this event promises a joyful and inclusive experience.
