TURN SCHOOL HOLIDAYS INTO CREATIVE ADVENTURES
School holidays should be more than just a break from routine – they're opportunities for discovery, growth, and joy.
At Faire & Co, we transform ordinary days into extraordinary creative experiences that children remember long after the glue dries and the paint sets.

Where Creativity Meets Joy (And Parents Get a Break!)
The school holidays are here again – that magical time when days stretch endlessly before us and the words "I'm bored" echo through homes across Australia.
But what if instead of dreading those weeks, both you and your children counted down to them?
We've reimagined what school holidays can be. Our thoughtfully designed creative workshops don't just fill time – they fill hearts and minds with the joy of making, the thrill of self-expression, and the confidence that comes from creating something wonderful.

Why Choose Us?
1
more than just art projects
Our workshops go beyond simply making pretty things (though we do that too!).
Each session is carefully designed to develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and boost self-confidence. When a child transforms raw materials into something they're proud of, they're also transforming their belief in what they can achieve.
Whether they're molding clay creatures, crafting watercolour artworks, or designing their own canvas, children discover that creativity isn't just fun – it's a powerful way to express themselves and understand the world.
2
expert, caring instructors
Behind every Faire & Co workshop is a team of passionate instructors who understand both the art of creation and the art of connection.
Our teachers guide children through age-appropriate activities with patience, expertise, and genuine enthusiasm.
We celebrate each child's unique creative voice while providing the structure and support they need to succeed.
The result? Children who leave not just with finished projects, but with newfound skills and the proud glow of achievement.
3
meaningful screen-free time
In a world where digital devices increasingly compete for our children's attention, our workshops offer something refreshingly tangible.
Here, children engage all their senses – feeling textures, mixing colours, and experiencing the satisfaction of creating something with their own hands.
These screen-free hours aren't just a break from technology; they're opportunities for real connection – with materials, with other children, and with their own creative potential.
The conversations, laughter, and friendships that develop alongside the art are often the most precious creations of all.
MEMORY-MAKING IN ACTION
What Your Child Will Experience
Watch as your child:
-
Discovers talents and interests you never knew they had
-
Beams with pride showing you what they created with their own hands
-
Makes new friends who share their creative spirit
-
Grows in confidence with each completed masterpiece
-
Bubbles with stories and excitement long after they leave
-
Develops skills you'll see shine through in school and beyond
Your child will bring home more than just projects – they'll return to you with new skills, boosted confidence, and memories they'll talk about for weeks.
What You'll Gain
You'll finally get to:
-
Relax knowing your child is in capable hands, fully engaged and learning
-
Enjoy some well-deserved time for yourself without the parent guilt
-
Capture photos of your beaming child with their amazing creations
-
Have dinner conversations about something besides screens and homework
-
Skip the dreaded craft cleanup at home (we handle all the mess!)
-
Witness the transformation as your child's creativity and confidence bloom
Imagine the joy of picking up a child who can't wait to tell you about their day instead of just saying "fine" when you ask how it went.
GET IN QUICK, SPACES FILL SUPER QUICK
The school holidays are here again – that magical time when days stretch endlessly before us and the words "I'm bored" echo through homes across Australia.
But what if instead of dreading those weeks, both you and your children counted down to them?
We've reimagined what school holidays can be. Our thoughtfully designed creative workshops don't just fill time – they fill hearts and minds with the joy of making, the thrill of self-expression, and the confidence that comes from creating something wonderful.
How do I book multiple children into one class?
You’ll need to set up your account first, then add each child as a “profile” in your account. Once they’re added, you’ll be able to book them all into the same class in one go. Easy-peasy!
I'm having trouble booking, help?!
No stress! Here's the quick step-by-step:
Create your account (this is a must).
Add each of your children as separate profiles.
Browse the School Holiday schedule and book them into the classes that suit.
Still stuck? Shoot us a message and we’ll help you out.
Can I use the sibling discount for holiday classes?
Yes, absolutely! The sibling discount still applies during the holidays. Pop SIBLING in the Promo Code box at the checkout once you’ve got more than one kiddo booked into the same session.
Does my membership apply to the holiday program?
Yes! If you're a member, you’ll receive 20% discount on school holiday bookings too . Just make sure you're logged into your account when you book so the system recognises you.
What’s your cancellation policy for holiday bookings?
We totally get that things come up! Here's how it works:
- Cancel with 48+ hours' notice – full refund, no worries.
- Cancel with 24–48 hours' notice – we’ll do our best to move you to another session.
- Less than 24 hours' notice – unfortunately, we can’t offer a refund or reschedule at that point.
Thanks for understanding!
Can my younger child join an older class?
We stick to our advertised age groups for a reason. It helps the class flow, keeps everyone safe, and ensures the project suits the age range.
So if the class is listed for 5+, it’s not suitable for a 3-year-old (even if they’re super clever). But don’t worry - we’ve got options for every age, so check the others sessions!
Do I need to stay with my child during the session?
For our youngest artists (ages 3–4), we recommend a parent or carer stays nearby, especially if your child is a little nervous or needs extra reassurance.
If you do choose to stay, we just ask that you hang back from the work tables and let your child take the creative lead.
It's super tempting to jump in and “help,” but at Faire & Co we’re all about the process — not the perfect product. We want your child to feel proud of what they made all by themselves, mess and all!
Can I bring food or snacks?
Yes — especially if your child is staying for multiple sessions or tends to get peckish! Just please be mindful that we are a nut-aware studio and often have children attending with food allergies. Pack allergy-safe snacks and avoid anything too messy or strong-smelling.
What do I need to bring?
Nothing but your little artist and a drink bottle! We’ve got all the materials ready to go — and yes, we clean up the mess.
Are the classes the same every day?
Nope! We switch it up daily so your child can come to multiple sessions and try new projects each time. You can check out the full lineup on the booking page.
Can I drop off early or pick up late?
We totally understand the juggle! But due to staffing and safety, we can only supervise children during the session time. Please plan to arrive no more than 5 minutes early and pick up on time — we appreciate it!
Do you offer full-day care or multi-class packages?
At the moment, our holiday workshops are run as standalone sessions. If your child is attending both a morning and afternoon session, you’re welcome to pack them a lunch and they can hang out in the studio under supervision during the break (please let us know when booking so we can plan ahead).
What if my child is shy or neurodivergent?
You're in good hands. We specialise in inclusive, low-pressure creative experiences. Let us know anything that will help us support your child (e.g. sensory needs, communication styles, or preferred seating) and we’ll do our best to create a safe and positive experience.
Do you send reminders or info before the class?
Yes! You’ll get a confirmation email right after booking, and a reminder email before the class with everything you need to know — where to go, what to bring (just a drink bottle!), and what to expect.
Can I take photos during the session?
We totally get wanting to capture the moment, but we ask that you leave the photos to us! We snap plenty of in-progress pics and finished artwork and share them on socials (with your permission, of course). This helps keep the vibe focused and the kids in their creative flow.
