Create your own colourful creature with Kate Robinson

Come and create your own colourful creature under Tin and Ed's deep-sea monsters in the Atrium

Join Kate Robinson as she guides the kids through making their own plasticine monsters, inspired by the otherworldly creatures who have taken up residence in Fed Square. Just as Tin & Ed do in their art, we will use a deep curiosity for the natural world to imagine our own fantastical, sparkly creations.

All materials will be provided. For children of all ages!

Children must be supervised at all times, if you wish to join in please reserve a ticket for yourself as well.

Kate Robinson bio:

Kate Robinson is an Iranian/Australian artist who loves to create colourful loud craft and murals. In 2020, she was the inaugural Feminist in Residence at Queen Victoria Women’s Centre, where she curated the community craftivist exhibition ‘Make a Fuss’. She currently serves on the board for NextWave, and the QVWC Trust. Kate also co-creates the podcast, Being Biracial, which is all about navigating the world as a mixed-race person. This podcast was developed as part of the residence program at Footscray community arts. For her, this podcast has been a chance to delve into what makes us whole.

Kate loves making art accessible and working with communities to reignite their creative side. To this end, she hosts craft workshops for local councils and galleries. In 2023, Kate will be an artist in residence at ArtsBox in Footscray, a judge of the Footscray Arts Prize for Young Artists, and a guest curator of the Amplify program for Maribyrnong City Council. She held her first solo exhibition, Zendegi at ArtsGen Marios Gallery earlier this year.
