The group shares a space with Star of the Sea Out of School Care with assistance from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church.
This space is offered to them free every Friday.
“We are so appreciative of it and it is great to be around the kids, but it is very small so we are hoping for a bigger more permanent space in the future,” she said.
The same children they share their space with have also been busy and raised money for the group through raffles, cake stalls and sold some herbs from their garden.
The group will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a silent auction and exhibition on November 19, at 5.30pm at Rockingham Arts Centre, 11 Kent Street.
Mixed Palette Inc offers weekly workshops from Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, which is at 2 Townsend Road, Rockingham.
