Discover the exciting world of wheat pasting, a fast and expressive form of street art designed to be seen in public spaces. This workshop series offers young people a safe and positive space to share ideas, build skills, and express creativity alongside artist Maia Cavendish.
Across three engaging sessions, participants will explore collage, design, and urban art-making techniques. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and creativity!
Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian, ensuring a supportive environment for all attendees.
Workshop 1 focuses on designing artwork for wheat pasting through collage and hands-on activities, encouraging playful exploration of shapes, images, and textures.

Workshop 3 culminates in finishing and installing the artworks at Burpengary Sports Complex using wheat paste, giving participants the thrill of seeing their creations come to life in a real public space.
All workshops take place at Burpengary Community Hall, located at 101-121 Station Road, Burpengary 4505. The venue is wheelchair accessible, ensuring inclusivity for all participants.
The final installation will be at Burpengary Sports Complex, providing a vibrant public canvas for the artworks.
