About this activity
Pine Street Creative Arts Centre in Chippendale is one of Sydney's best-kept creative secrets — and during NSW Youth Week 2026, it's running free creative workshops for teenagers that are genuinely worth a visit.
The Junk Journaling workshop is a particular standout: teens aged 12–17 learn to create their own handmade journals from recycled materials, layering paper, fabric, photographs and found objects into something unique and personal. It's tactile, meditative and surprisingly absorbing — even for kids who don't usually think of themselves as 'creative'. Sessions are run by experienced arts educators in a professional studio environment.
