First Edition is a quiet, creativity-focused holiday workshop for young artists who prefer a calmer, less overstimulating experience.
Participants become investigative journalists uncovering mysterious creatures around Footscray, using writing, drawing, collage, and watercolours to build a collaboratively created newspaper. Through gentle games, guided discussions, and imaginative tasks, they’ll design cryptids, develop conspiracy theories, craft headlines, create interviews, and assemble articles, all while working alongside peers in a thoughtful, low-pressure environment.
The day blends contemplation with playful investigation, encouraging curiosity, storytelling, and artistic exploration. Perfect for quieter makers with a passion for mysteries, journalism, and immersive creativity.
When: Tues 13 January 2026
Time: 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM
Where: 100 Story Building, 206-208 Nicholson St, Footscray Vic 3011
NOTE: This workshop is for quieter creatives who want a less overstimulating school holiday experience that they can really dive into with like-minded artists. If your maker is one who loves to make noise and needs to move around, 100 Story Puppet Factory is the workshop for them.
