Creative Insects Holiday Workshop at the Australian Museum


  • Australian Museum (map)

We are celebrating the world of insects! Come and create your own insects using clay and other materials as we celebrate the world of insects in Burra. Learn tips and tricks to make your creations unique.

The Australian Museum has partnered up with artist Tamara Gulic Phoenix to bring the world of insects to life in Burra these school holidays! These tiny creatures have been around for over 400 million years and have witnessed the rise and fall of many species, including the dinosaurs. Their importance in our ecosystem cannot be overstated, and it's time to appreciate them for all they do.

The museum's insect collection is the inspiration behind a hands-on activity that will allow kids to create their own insects using clay and other materials. From the legs to the wings, children will learn tips and tricks to make their creations as unique and imaginative as possible.

This drop-in activity is perfect for budding artists and aspiring entomologists alike, as it offers a chance to explore the world of insects from a creative perspective. Whether you're looking for a fun way to spend a day or a chance to learn something new, this free drop-in workshop is not to be missed! So come along and celebrate the incredible world of insects with us these school holidays.

Free and all ages. Burra Learning Space.
