School holidays are coming to Outside The Box, and we’re turning our little corner of New Farm into a seriously fun creative playground. 🎨✨

This September, we’re hosting two special school holiday workshops designed for young creatives who love making, decorating, experimenting and taking home something completely their own.

Each workshop includes all materials, supervised creative time with a Blue Card holder, and morning tea — so parents can leave the preparation to us while the kids get stuck into the fun.

No boring holiday activities here. Just colour, creativity and a little OTB magic.

📸 Workshop One: Decorate Your Own Wooden Photo Frame

Wednesday, 23 September 2026
9:15 am – 11:30 am
Ages 8+

Give those favourite photos a frame worthy of them.

In this hands-on workshop, young creatives will transform their own wooden photo frame into a completely personalised piece to take home. Think colour, personality, playful details and plenty of freedom to make it very much their own.

Whether their style is bold and bright, cute and colourful, beautifully minimal or delightfully over-the-top, there’s no “right” way to create at OTB.

Workshop Price

$100 per person
or
$90 per person when booking for two

Your Workshop Includes

• All materials required for the activity

• A wooden photo frame to decorate and take home

• Guided and supervised creative time

• Supervision by a Blue Card holder

• Morning tea

• A fun, welcoming creative experience at Outside The Box

Perfect for siblings, besties or young makers looking for something a little different these school holidays.

💌 Workshop Two: Greeting Card Making

Wednesday, 30 September 2026
9:15 am – 11:30 am
Ages 6+

Tiny pieces of art made for someone special. 💖

Our Greeting Card Making Workshop invites kids to slow down, get creative and discover just how much personality can fit onto a little piece of paper.

They’ll have the opportunity to play with different materials, colours and decorative ideas while creating their own collection of handmade cards to take home.

Birthday card? Thank-you card? Something for Grandma? A completely random masterpiece for the family dog? We support all creative directions.

🌈 A Different Kind of School Holiday Activity

At Outside The Box, creativity doesn’t need to be perfect.

Our workshops are designed to give kids the freedom to make something themselves, explore their own ideas and enjoy the process in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

And while they’re creating, there’s plenty more to discover around OTB — from our Art & Craft Café to our 100% gluten-free café, gallery and wonderfully unexpected gift shop.

Come for the workshop. Stay for a wander. Discover something you probably weren’t expecting.

Limited Spots — Book Early! 🎟️

We intentionally keep our workshops limited so everyone has the space and attention to properly enjoy the experience.

Once the seats are gone, they’re gone.

So grab a sibling, bring a bestie and give them a school holiday morning filled with creativity, colour and something wonderful to take home.
