Get creative with nature for this April’s school holidays at Kings Park! In this hands-on workshop, kids will explore the magic of plant-based art using the flower pounding technique to transfer natural colours from flowers and leaves onto fabric and paper. We’ll then experiment with acids and alkalis to see how they can transform and modify the colours in surprising ways.
If time allows, we’ll also head out to forage leaves from the surrounding area and create stunning blue-and-white prints using the sun-powered cyanotype process. This workshop is a fun mix of science, art, and nature—perfect for curious and creative minds!

Join us for a creative community nature art session, through The City of Perth at Harold Boas Gardens this May! This hands-on workshop invites children and families to come together to explore the beauty of plant-based art through colour, texture, and outdoor play.

Participants will also make their own flower-pounded paper creations to take home.
We’ll then explore the magical cyanotype process, using sunlight and natural materials to create striking blue-and-white prints to keep. If time allows, we’ll head out together to gently forage leaves from the surrounding area to use in our designs.

Natural Dyeing & Botanical Art Workshop – Kings Park
Celebrate Botanic Garden Week and the theme of health and wellbeing in our gardens with a calming, creative experience in the heart of Kings Park. This hands-on workshop invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and explore the therapeutic benefits that botanical spaces offer to our communities.
Guided by Carly from Rivarossa Botanicals, you’ll be introduced to natural dye techniques including painting with petals as natural brushes and exploring the beauty of botanical inks. You’ll learn how to create your own natural inks using a variety of plants, and have time to play and experiment—creating expressive prints on paper using your handmade colours.
We’ll also explore the fascinating relationship between plants and chemistry, using simple household modifiers to shift pH levels and reveal the hidden spectrum of colours within each plant. This playful experimentation highlights the subtle magic of the natural world.
This workshop offers a gentle blend of creativity, science, and connection to place—an opportunity to unwind, learn, and create something truly unique while embracing the wellbeing benefits of nature.
