CRAFTerschool

If you love getting creative with other kids and learning all about different ways of making art, you'll love our CRAFTerschool art club for tamariki and rangatahi of all ages!

A group of children are standing in front of a display of traditional Sāmaon siapo (tapa) cloths, proudly displaying paper versions that they have made.

CRAFTerschool is a free arts and crafts club for school-aged children who love to create and connect with other crafty kids. Come along and get stuck into activities such as drawing, beading, origami, mask-making, sculpting, painting, and more! This programme runs weekly during term-time and is suitable for tamariki aged 5 - 12 years accompanied by their caregivers.

Our regular schedule is presented below, but you can always check our event calendar for the most up-to-date times and locations.
