    At Kraftworks for Kids all of our activities are available every day at each of our locations. If your child is interested in any of the activities that we offer then we have the Leaders and the kits to ensure they have fun!

    Our main activities include Figurine Painting, Jewellery Making, Plasterkraft, Scale Modelling, and Stitchery. Any spare time is occupied by Kumihimo and Origami. When we take a break we play awesome boardgames.

  • Fun!

    Fun!

    We developed the school holiday program that we wanted our children to attend. A program for creative kids that would encourage their creativity as well as develop their practical skills while having fun with their friends.

    It is important to us that kids attending the program have fun. If they are having fun then they are engaged by the activities. If they are engaged by the activities then they are learning new skills and developing existing ones.

Jewellery Making
A practical skill that blends creativity and fine motor control

Making jewellery is a challenging yet rewarding passtime. There are many different techniques to learn. Each kit in our Jewellery Making program makes a specific piece of jewellery and contains all of the components needed to make the item. Instructions are clear and concise with photographs guiding the student through every step. We provide all of the tools needed to assemble the piece, and expert tuition is available every step of the way.

Jewellery making is a great passtime that can be a good money earner. Our beginners course covers beading (also known as stringing). Beading is fun for anyone with an interest in jewellery and is quite easy to do. Stringing beads requires concentration and fine motor control. Our intermediate course covers stitching. Stitching involves weaving seed beads. Seed beads are very small - it takes patience, persistence, and concentration to stitch beads successfully. Our advanced course covers wire-working. In particular it focusses on chainmail - linking jump rings to make decorative patterns.

Anyone who completes our jewellery making course will have access to a life-long passtime.

Lunch Orders

At Kraftworks we have our lunch between 12:00 and 1:00. During this time there is no craft activity. Instead we eat lunch, watch DVDs, and play tabletop games. At each Kraftworks location we have organized a local eatery to provide a lunch order service for staff and students. Lunch orders are placed at 10:00 for a 12:00 delivery.

Patience

Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.
