Time Changes: Vinyl Art Workshop

Hosted by Curate, Perth’s champions of sustainable arts, this hands-on workshop transforms rescued vinyl LPs into one-of-a-kind clocks. You’ll receive a reclaimed record, paint pens, and clock mechanisms, then design your own piece inspired by music, memories, patterns, or favourite artists.

Held alongside the A Day with David photography exhibition, the session explores creativity, transformation, and artistic evolution, with a curated David Bowie playlist setting the mood. Light refreshments included.

Leave with a unique, functional artwork, a celebration of recycling, creativity, and making something beautiful from the discarded.

VENUE & ACCESS
The workshop takes place at Joondalup Contemporary Art Gallery, found on Boas Avenue, Joondalup – right next to Joondalup Library and the Council Chambers. It’s just a 5-minute walk from Joondalup Train Station with free parking available in surrounding streets and nearby public car parks, including Boas Avenue and Grand Boulevard. Multiple bus routes service the Joondalup CBD, including free CAT services.

The event is held in the gallery's workshop, located just around the corner from the exhibition space – there will be signs to point you in the right direction. The venue is small but wheelchair accessible with wide doorways and level floors. The activity involves fine motor skills (using paint pens) and some manual dexterity for assembling clock mechanisms, though facilitators will provide assistance and adaptations as needed to ensure all participants can create successfully.

Please note, due to material requirements, complimentary companion tickets are not available for this workshop. Companions are welcome to attend without a ticket to watch and support the activity.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Vintage vinyl LP (rescued from donation bins), paint pens in multiple colours, clock mechanism and hands, all assembly materials and tools, expert facilitation and guidance throughout, tips for caring for your finished clock, light refreshments, snacks, and a curated David Bowie playlist.

The workshop will take 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your design complexity and crafting ability – it's designed to be relaxed and self-paced.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your completed working vinyl clock (allow 24 hours for paint to fully cure before hanging or displaying).

WHAT TO BRING
Just yourself and your creative energy!

CAPACITY
Limited to 20 participants to ensure personalised attention from facilitators. Book early to secure your spot!
