Tween & Teen

Creative Workshops & Craft Parties

Melbourne

Our teen creative workshops are ideal for kids aged 10-16 who love to express themselves through art and craft.

Screen-Free Fun, Real-World Connections
At Bayside Makerspace, our Tween and Teen workshops are all about ditching the screens and sparking creativity the old-fashioned way—face-to-face, hands-on, and full of fun. From experimenting with paint, yarn, fabric, and resin to making cool, one-of-a-kind projects, these sessions give young makers the chance to relax, connect, and express themselves in a welcoming, social environment.

It’s a space to make new friends, try new things, and discover just how rewarding (and fun!) creating in real life can be.

“Where tweens & teens trade scroll time for soul time.”

Tween & Teen UV Resin Accessories


Unleash your tween or teen's creativity in this hands-on creative workshop making one-of-a-kind accessories!

What you'll do

In this workshop, tweens and teens alike will discover the endless creativity in making accessories using UV resin and a variety of sparkly fillers! From glitter to sequins to inks and more, this craft will leave them amazed at what they can create.

Don't worry if your teen is new to working with UV Resin, we'll guide them through safety measures and show them the types of fillers they can use to add colour and shine to their accessories.

During the workshop, they'll get hands-on experience using resin moulds to shape and cure their unique pieces. We'll utilise a UV lamp to cure their creations and demonstrate how to use jewellery pliers to connect their accessories together.

By the end of the workshop, your tween or teen will walk away with all their one-of-a-kind creations, feeling inspired by the process and excited to showcase their new accessories!
