FREE Mini Makers Tote Bag Workshops at The Strand Coolangatta

Budding artists are invited to unleash their creativity these September school holidays at the free Mini Makers Tote Bag Workshops at The Strand at Coolangatta Shopping Centre.

Young creators will become designers for the day as they paint and personalise their own premium cotton tote bag using professional fabric paints, curated colour palettes, stencils and creative prompts. Guided by friendly facilitators, each 45 minute workshop encourages imagination and self expression while creating a practical keepsake they’ll be proud to take home.

Perfect for children aged 5–12 years, the workshops offer a fun, hands-on activity that builds confidence and develops fine motor skills in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

The Strand at Coolangatta is the Southern Gold Coast’s premier beachfront shopping and dining destination, bringing together a curated mix of retail, restaurants, cafés and entertainment just steps from the iconic Coolangatta Beach. The Strand is a vibrant community hub, hosting a year-round calendar of family-friendly events, experiences and activities that celebrate the relaxed coastal lifestyle of the Southern Gold Coast.

Workshops run for 45 minutes and are free.
