Why Themed Kids Art Workshops Are the Creative Adventure Your Child Needs (Right Here in Perth)

At Faire & Co, we believe creativity isn’t just a skill it’s a superpower. One of our favourite ways to nurture this in children is through our themed art workshops, bursting with colour, imagination and just the right amount of creative chaos. These aren’t your average kids’ activities. They’re joyful, hands-on experiences where every week is a new adventure.

Whether it's exploring the depths of the ocean in a mixed-media masterpiece or creating dreamy galaxy scenes with pastels and glitter, our children's art workshops in Perth are designed to excite, inspire and build confidence. Here's why these themed classes are so much more than just "keeping kids busy" and why you might want to book a spot for your little artist today.

What Are Themed Art Workshops?

A themed workshop is a short-format art session (often one-off or run over a few weeks) that focuses on a particular subject, material or technique. Think seasonal ideas like "Magical Autumn Leaves" or fantasy themes like "Dragons and Dreamscapes." Each one is crafted to spark imagination and give kids new ways to express themselves.

At Faire & Co, we take this a step further by ensuring each workshop is:

• Age-appropriate (with options for ages 3+, 5–8, and 9–12)

• Process-based, not perfection-based

• Led by trained Creative Assistants who guide, not dictate

• Rooted in fun, with joy and play at the centre

  
  

Our themes rotate regularly, so there’s always something new to try. This keeps kids engaged, curious and excited to return.

The Benefits of Themed Art Workshops for Kids

1. Variety Keeps Creativity Fresh: Themed workshops introduce kids to new ideas, styles, and tools with each session. One week, they might be printing with leaves; the next, sculpting with clay. This variety builds adaptability, creative thinking and problem-solving all while having a blast.

2. Confidence Through Creation: There’s no "wrong" way to make art at Faire & Co. Every child’s work is celebrated, whether it's a detailed drawing or a wild splash of colour. Our process-based approach means kids feel proud of what they’ve made, no matter the result.

3. Skill Development (Without the Pressure): While we don’t focus on outcomes, kids naturally build technical skills: cutting, drawing, mixing, layering, sculpting. They learn by doing and they don’t even realise it because they’re having so much fun.

4. A Creative Community: Art brings people together. Kids make friends, cheer each other on, and get inspired by what their classmates are creating. For shy kids especially, it’s a safe, welcoming space to come out of their shell.

5. It's Just Really, Really Fun: We won’t lie. Sometimes, the biggest benefit is simply seeing your child light up with excitement. From getting their hands messy to proudly showing off their artwork, the joy is contagious.

A Look Inside a Faire & Co Workshop

Let’s take you inside one of our recent workshops: "Under the Sea". Children were invited to create layered ocean scenes using watercolour, collage, and salt-sprinkle textures. Our Creative Assistants demonstrated techniques but encouraged each child to follow their own vision. Some painted whales. Others went wild with coral reefs or turned their sea into a rainbow.

By the end of the session, the walls were alive with colour. More importantly, the room buzzed with pride. Parents snapped pics, and kids couldn’t wait to tell their stories.

That’s what we mean by meaningful creative experiences.
