In Term 3, Wildcraft Atelier invites students to explore the intersection of art, design, and craftsmanship through a curated collection of functional and decorative projects. Drawing inspiration from both traditional craft practices and contemporary makers, students will work with a diverse range of materials while developing practical creative skills and an appreciation for thoughtful design.
 
Throughout the term, students will explore jewellery design, beadwork, polymer clay, basic macramé, cross stitch, decorative stitching, surface embellishment, and mixed media construction. Each project is carefully designed to introduce new materials and techniques while encouraging experimentation, creative problem-solving, and attention to detail.
 
From wearable art and handcrafted accessories to decorative objects and functional keepsakes, students will create a collection of unique pieces that reflect both artistic expression and purposeful design. Along the way, they will develop confidence in working with a variety of tools and materials while discovering the enduring value of making by hand.
 
Inclusive of all materials and tools (may involve the use of weaving looms, yarn, polymer clay, clay tools, jewellery making supplies and tools, etc.)
 
IMPORTANT PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES
At paintbox, we are passionate about creating a warm, inspiring, and supportive studio where every student can grow in confidence and skill. Please take note that paintbox is a working artist's studio and NOT a child-minding facility. To ensure a safe and positive experience for all, we ask families to read the following guidelines before enrolling.
 
A Creative Learning Environment
Our classes are small to medium sized, structured, and guided step-by-step. We focus on building real artistic skills in a calm and encouraging group setting.
To get the most out of the experience, students should feel comfortable:
  • Participating in a group
  • Following simple instructions
  • Engaging with materials in a safe and respectful way
 
Supervision in the Studio
During class, students are supervised within the group setting. We ask that all participants are able to:
  • Remain within the studio space
  • Follow safety directions
  • Participate alongside others in a cooperative way
 
Independence & Readiness
To help classes run smoothly for everyone, students should be able to:
  • Work with a level of independence suited to their age group
  • Manage their own toileting needs
  • Take part in the session without requiring constant one-on-one support
 
Additional Support
We are an inclusive studio and welcome children of all abilities.
If your child requires extra support; whether physical, behavioural, or personal; we simply ask that a parent, carer, or support worker stays for the session to assist them.
 
This helps ensure your child is fully supported while also allowing the class to run smoothly for all students.
 
Sharing Important Information
Every child is different, and we love getting to know what helps them thrive.
If there is anything we should know, such as:
  • Sensory sensitivities
  • Medical needs or allergies
  • Additional support requirements
Please let us know when enrolling so we can create the best possible experience.
 
Keeping Everyone Safe
A safe and respectful environment is essential for creativity to flourish.
If a situation arises where a student’s needs cannot be safely supported within the group setting, we may need to pause or adjust their participation. This is always approached with care and communication.
 
Our Commitment
We are committed to making thoughtful, reasonable adjustments wherever possible so that all students feel welcomed, supported, and inspired while maintaining a safe and high-quality experience for the whole group.
 
By enrolling in a paintbox program, you acknowledge these guidelines and help us create a beautiful, respectful studio environment for everyone.
