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.”
