Have you ever wanted to meet an artist and take part in a workshop where the artist sits with the participants and teaches them her craft? A Kakadu Workshop is just that….a wonderful and unique experience. Meet Reut Shahar in her workshop and hear about how she got started and how she built a well known brand.

Kakadu artwork is painted wood in specific Kakadu colors. The art uses shapes, animals and figures from nature. Visit the photos tab for a gallery of Kakadu products.

Choose from a variety of wooden art pieces to decorate with the guidance of the artists at Kakadu. This is a great activity for kids of all ages and even adults can enjoy the hands on workshop.

Meet Reut the world renowned Kakadu artist and see some of her recent work. Kakadu is located in the beautiful Ella Valley in Moshav Tzafririm (near Beit Shemesh).

Gallery Visits & Hands on Workshop for the whole family
Families can reserve a private Kakadu experience where they meet Reut and hear about the story of how she built the Kakadu brand. Then you will enter the workshop yourself and create a Kakadu masterpiece.

Visitors can choose from place mats, to decorative objects, coasters, Hamsas and can even design floor mats if they request it in advance. The wooden carpets are internationally patented. Each piece is “finished” off by Reut herself and each person walks away with a beautiful piece of art in the Kakadu style.  At Kakadu they believe that everyone is a born artist.

The tour ends with a visit to the Kakadu factory store. Tour can be arranged in English or Hebrew. Advanced booking is required.

This is a great activity for grandparents and parents together with their kids.
