CRE8 Lab: Wrap Up

November 21st, 2024
Term 4 Workshops, 2024

CRE8 Lab wrapped up the end of the year with some fun workshops. Check out what our students created below!

shrinky dink pins

Using special shrink plastic decorated with coloured pencils, students designed some fun kawaii-style wearable pins. They were amazed at how the plastic bends and curls as it shrinks before flattening out again.

sugar skull paperweights

Students unleashed their creative spooky sides by decorating rocks to resemble vibrant Sugar Skulls for Halloween. Adding a splash of colour and personality to their project, each unique design is not only a beautiful piece of art but also doubles as a functional paperweight! 💀

hanging birdfeeder

As part of our Eco Justice Week celebrations, CRE8 Lab students constructed birdfeeders from wooden popsicle sticks. These cute feeders can be hung in their gardens to attract local bird friends and give them a safe space to feed.

iris folded christmas card

Christmas has come early to CRE8 Lab!
For the final workshop of 2024, students learned how to iris fold – layering folded strips of paper in a swirling pattern similar to the iris of a camera lens. We used Christmas printed paper and bows to transform our simple rectangle shapes into cute presents for the front of a Christmas Card.

We can’t wait to see what CRE8TIONS will be made in 2025!

CRE8 Lab: Wrap Up

September 4th, 2024
Term 3 Workshops, 2024

It was great to see so many returning students this term and some new faces too. We had the tunes pumping and lots of lovely creative energy flowing. Check out what we made below:

DIY Scratch paper

Mixing art and science, we eased into the term with a fun workshop learning how to make our own DIY scratch paper.

woven coaster

With the colder winter weather upon us, we busted out the wool and created some cosy coasters with weaving techniques.

geometric stitched monogram

Geometry is the name of the game, or in this case – a monogram! Using techniques reminiscent of seventies’ string art, students stitched patterns into the first letter of their names.

3d printed bookmark

In keeping with the monogram theme, students designed and printed 3D bookmarks that also made the perfect gift for Father’s Day last weekend.

What a busy term we had! Remember to follow us on Instagram at @ahsbrisbanelibrary for our weekly library program updates!

CRE8 Lab: Wrap Up

May 14th, 2024
Term 2 Workshops, 2024

It was great to see so many new faces in the CRE8 Lab this term! We had the tunes pumping and lots of lovely creative energy flowing. Check out what we made below:

macrame feathers

First up, we got crafty with wrapping, cutting, and knotting yarn, turning it into the fluffiest feathers ever!

library book nook

Everything’s so much better in miniature, and these tiny libraries are no exception! Using recycled materials, we turned old boxes into cute dioramas for our bookshelves.

mothers day seed bombs

What’s better than giving flowers on Mothers’ Day? Growing your own!

Whether they’re thrown with abandon or planted with care, these little balls of clay will break down over the coming weeks to evolve into a beautiful patch of bee and butterfly attracting blooms.

CRE8 Lab: Wrap Up

March 13th, 2024
Term 1 Workshops, 2024

We started off the year with a gentle introduction to CRE8 Lab for all our new attendees. It was great to see them making new friendships, while helping and encouraging each other.

UnderWaterColour Art

Learning to watercolour, and then adding pen and ink to create an underwater scene:

Stationery Wax Seals

Using discarded corks and old coins and buttons, students made seals to impress into faux “wax” made from hot glue:

Native Bee Hotel

To celebrate the addition of our new AHS Native Bee Hive, we created mini hotels from paper straws and ceramic mugs to help pollinate our own backyards with solitary bees:

Aztec Sun Knot Keychains

Every AHS brown bag needs a keychain, and students had fun learning macrame sun knots:

We can’t wait to see what our students will CRE8 next term!
