A Splash of Colour These Holidays: Pot Painting Fun for Kids at 44 Stanley

School’s out, the kids are bouncing off the walls, and let’s be honest, your fridge door has run out of space for crayon drawings. So what now? How about a holiday activity that’s both creative and contained, that gets your little ones messy in all the right ways and gives them something to be proud of to take home?

Studio Artwave’s Holiday Pot Painting for Kids is ticking all those boxes, and then some.

A Hands-On Holiday Treat

Taking place at the ever-popular 44 Stanley precinct, this two-hour workshop invites kids aged six and up to decorate their very own terracotta plant pots using paint, colour, and creativity. It’s art with a purpose, something tangible they can use, gift, or pop on a windowsill with pride.

Each child leaves with their finished pot and maybe a few flecks of colour on their arms to prove they really got into it. Juice and light snacks are included, because let’s face it, no child paints well on an empty stomach.

The workshop is hosted in Studio Artwave’s upstairs studio, right near the Salvation Café entrance. There’s secure parking for parents, a friendly welcome on arrival, and a bright, airy space that invites imagination.

Everything’s Covered, Except the Clothes

Parents, don’t worry about packing supplies. All materials are provided: paints, brushes, aprons, pots, you name it. Just bring your child and a willingness to embrace a little mess. Aprons are handed out, but it’s best your kids wear something that can handle a bit of splatter just in case.

It’s a safe, supervised space that focuses on guided creativity rather than chaos. And it’s not just about painting; it’s about giving your child the joy of making something from scratch, start to finish.

Parents Are Talking

Social media is already buzzing with snaps of colourful pots and proud grins. Parents are loving that it’s not just a “drop-off and disappear” affair; it’s meaningful, well-run, and part of the stylish, relaxed 44 Stanley ecosystem.

One mom on Instagram called it “the perfect mix of creative chaos and quiet concentration,” and another posted, “My daughter hasn’t stopped watering her painted pot. Might be empty, but it’s got pride of place on the windowsill.”

If you’re looking for a holiday activity in Joburg that blends art, fun, and take-home pride, Studio Artwave’s Pot Painting Workshop is an inspired option. It’s the kind of outing that sparks imagination, builds focus, and ends in something real, painted by tiny hands and full of big personality.
