Mid Term Workshops: Spooky Haunted Houses 28 - 29 Oct 2025
As we approach Halloween, join us for a magical adventure where you'll create your very own haunted house with artist Debora Adachi. Ages 5-7
Welcome young architects of fright! Imagine stepping into the shoes of your favourite Halloween creature - perhaps a friendly ghost, a mischievous witch, or a silly werewolf? What kind of haunted house would they live in?
Would your house have wiggling spider legs? Maybe walls made of bones? Or perhaps a roof made of bat wings? Let your imagination run wild as you design and decorate your perfect spooky home!
In this hands-on workshop, you'll craft a miniature haunted house using all sorts of fun materials. Add tiny windows for ghosts to peek through, create a garden of pumpkins, or even build a bubbling cauldron on your door!
