Eskbank House and Museum will be running a Halloween themed school holiday program for those keen to get in touch with their artistic side.

The program will include including a workshop with Ludwina Roebuck and a drop-in craft session with Prue Mogg.

The activities provide an opportunity for families to spend time together over the school holidays whilst learning craft skills and making decorations for Halloween.

Local artist Ludwina Roebuck will guide participants through the creative process of making Jack-O’-lanterns.

The creative pumpkin heads will then be stacked on top of each other to create a nightmarish installation that will glow wildly in Main Street during Lithgow Halloween.

Some of Ludwina’s wonderfully quirky creations can be seen in her installation shining over Pioneer Park in Main Street, produced as part of Tidy Town’s Laneways Project. 

There’s something for the younger children as well with Prue Mogg leading the popular Craftynoons, a drop-in session with free craft and afternoon tea.

Families will be able to make plenty of spooky characters and creatures to decorate their home in time for Halloween.
