School’s out, and the glue guns are in. This July, the team at My Creative Fix is running a series of hands-on art and craft workshops that’ll keep kids and tweens away from screens, and wrist-deep in glitter, yarn, and glue. Held at 9 Reitz Street in Potch, the Creative Holiday Workshops are running from 11 to 18 July 2025, specifically designed for children aged 8 to 12.

Workshop Line-Up

This isn’t your average “colour-in-and-go-home” gig. Over the course of a week, participants will get stuck into six different activities, each introducing a new skill or creative technique:

11 July – Paper Art
Think quilling, folding, rolling, and making flowers that won’t die two days later.
14 July – Crochet (Part 1)
Needles out, granny squares in. Beginners welcome.
15 July – Decoupage
Glue + paper + random objects = the art of upcycling.
16 July – Crochet (Part 2)
For those who survived Part 1, the sequel awaits.
17 July – Embroidery
Kids learn simple stitches and the satisfaction of turning a needle and thread into a small masterpiece.
18 July – Glow Paint Party
Neon lights, music, glowing paint, and no need to be good at anything. A messy and exciting finale.

All About the Details

Each session runs from 14:00 to 16:30, giving parents just enough time to sneak in a coffee or do the weekly shop in peace. All materials are included, so there’s no need to dig through your craft drawer for leftover felt and googly eyes.

Prices are pretty straightforward too:

R600 for all six sessions
R130 if you’re just testing the waters with a single workshop

Booking can be done via the website (mycreativefix.co.za) or through WhatsApp at 064-681-3914. Spaces are limited, and judging by the neon paint party, this isn’t one to leave to the last minute.

Why Bother?

Apart from keeping the house glitter-free for a few hours, these workshops aim to build confidence, focus, and fine motor skills, all under the radar while the kids think they’re just having a jol with some paint.

There’s no pressure to be a prodigy. It’s a relaxed, social space where kids can create, connect and maybe even come home with something fridge-worthy.
