Bush Studio creative practice workshop provides an opportunity for students in Years 9 to 12 to work alongside artist Nicole Barakat, who will lead students through a workshop supporting the development of new strategies for their creative practice. Using the metaphor of a garden, students are invited to engage in fun, open-ended, intuitive and experimental processes, in a supportive and safe setting.

Bush Studio: primary visual arts camp provides an opportunity for NSW public school students in Years 5 and 6 to be involved in an engaging, challenging and stimulating visual arts program led by experienced visual arts teachers. 

The camp aims to provide students with an opportunity to observe, interpret and respond to their immediate environment, the Hawkesbury River and surrounding forests. Students will discover strategies to explore their immediate experience of the landscape to create preliminary works that are process-focused as departure points for resolved studio-based artworks. Students will investigate ways to create sculptural works using natural found objects and use these sculptures to facilitate the making of drawings and monoprints. The program will culminate in an exhibition for families, friends and teachers on the final day of the camp.
