About
This free, family-friendly creative workshop is open to everyone — no art experience needed. Together we’ll:
🐠 Paint coral, fish, and starfish decorations
🦑 Make ocean-themed costumes (jellyfish, crabs, sharks, divers, octopuses & more!)
🪸 Build a coral reef display to bring our float to life
All materials are provided — just bring your imagination, enthusiasm, and clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on!
💙 Free Event
👉 Please indicate if you’d like to make a costume so we can plan materials.
Be part of an awesome creative community day with the Pohutukawa Coast Arts Hub — let’s make a splash at the Santa Parade on 6 December!
Note: you can join this workshop and choose to be part of the float or not. All ages welcome but children must be supervised by parent/caregiver.
