Looking for something fun to do tomorrow?

We will be running our popular trash puppet making workshop for Burrinja Cultural Centre on Sunday October 4, from 10.30am.

Facilitated by our experienced puppeteers, the workshop will provide a fun, artistic experience that will change the way children think about and look at everyday household rubbish. They can then use their new skills and knowledge to create more puppets at home!

Presented as part of the Burrinja Climate Change Biennale, and supported by Yarra Ranges Council, numbers are limited, so book now, via the link below:
