IT WAS art supplies galore on Monday for the first day of the CATCH-UP school holiday program, at Wedderburn Community House. 
Kids were given a variety of tools to express their creativity from paints to pencils and stamps. Exploring different techniques and methods, there were fish and star shaped sponges, geometric shapes cut into potatoes, brushes of all shapes and sizes, all ready to be dunked into paint and transformed into works of art.
Running the class were local artist Barb Petrie and Trish Walls, who were thrilled with the creativity of their students. “We’re pretty flexible with what materials the kids want to focus on using, we just want them to express their creativity,” said Trish, adding “Wedderburn is an inspiring place to be art wise”. 
Monday’s participants used brushes, sponges and potato stamps to make their masterpieces. Tuesday’s program featured a morning of Lego building, while yesterday was all about crafts and today will have a focus on  mosaics. 
Inglewood Community Bank has sponsored the school holiday program.
