Makers & Manufacturers Open Day (Council Led Event)
18/01/2025 - Hurstville Museum & Gallery
Celebrate creativity, history, and hands-on fun activities for all ages with our Makers & Manufacturers Open Day. Whether you're an art lover, history buff, or looking for a fun family day out, there's something for everyone:
-
For adults: Enjoy a guided tour of the Makers & Manufacturers exhibition or try your hand at making butter with Dr. Jacqui Newling in a fun, interactive workshop.
-
For the whole family: Embark on a family activity trail and become a detective of local history, or enjoy free drop-in activities, including creating your own leather keyring or exploring your artistic side with two exciting art activities.
This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the untold industrial history of the St George region and get creative with the whole family. But hurry—Dr. Jacqui’s butter-making workshops and tours have limited spots available, so be sure to book to secure your place.
More information about the leather keyring activity:
Engage one-on-one with Jasmine, our expert leather volunteer. She’ll guide you through the process of crafting your key ring while taking inspiration from the exhibition. Please note that the activity is available with a break from 12.00pm - 12.30pm, and will run while materials last.
Don't miss out on this day of exploration, creativity, and fun. We can't wait to see you there!
