🌸 April at Chockadoo

Soft Pastels, Easter Fun and ANZAC Day Inspiration

April is here, bringing soft spring colours, fresh creativity, and plenty of ways to get involved. This month, we’re celebrating Easter with a pastel-inspired colour palette, ANZAC Day with meaningful poppy projects, sharing tutorials, launching competitions, and highlighting seasonal pieces to spark your creativity.

Here is everything happening this April at Chockadoo.

🎨 April Colour Palette

We couldn’t resist putting together an Easter-inspired palette that feels soft, fresh and full of spring energy. Think pastel eggs, blooming gardens, and that gentle glow of light shining through glass.

This month’s palette is all about blush tones, sunshine yellow, and a touch of cool sky blue. These colours work beautifully across fused glass projects, jewellery, suncatchers, and seasonal decorations.

Here are the Bullseye sheets that inspired our April palette:

These shades are perfect for creating Easter eggs, bunnies, floral panels, or delicate jewellery pieces. Layer them, mix them, or use them as accents – they melt together beautifully in the kiln.
