Saturday 2 June 11am - 5pm Zillmere Multicultural Festival
Sunday 3 June 9am - 4pm Racecourse Road Carnival
:: All Day Make and Take Workshops
::
1. Caravan Colouring-in: Use your own flair and imagination to colour in a variety
of retro suburban caravanning items. All ages and colouring outside the lines
welcome!
2. Make Your Own Caravan Brooch / Magnet: Create your very own piece of wearable or magnetized
nostalgia using your choice of crafting medium. Draw, stick, glue or colour-in
a cool quirky caravan shape to take away to your own suburban oasis. Ah the
serenity!
3. Community Bunting Project: The BrisStyle Community
Bunting Project aims to engage and showcase the imagination and crafting
talents of the local communities where each festival is being held in the form
of bunting (or flags as some call them). Each flag will tell it’s own story through colour, embellishment
and interpretation. Once completed, it will then be hung around the workshop
marquee’s and caravan at each festival. Participants will be encouraged to colour in and /or embellish
each flag along the theme of 'Holidaying in their own Suburb /Backyard'. Themes
and images which relate to local culture or icons / places of interest will
also be encouraged.
