Our school holiday art programs:
- include a wide range of art forms including painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and more!
- include all art materials and tuition in the workshop fee
- offer 3-hour workshops with morning or afternoon sessions for kids aged 5 and over (9.30am-12.30pm and 1.30pm-4.30pm)
- offer one and two-day master classes for teens to develop skills and explore new mediums or techniques (10am-4pm)
- include lunchtime supervision for kids staying the whole day at no extra charge
Note: Our goal is to run all the advertised workshops. However, we sometimes need change a workshop theme, age range or tutor due to insufficient enrolments or other circumstances, and occasionally cancel a workshop altogether. In such circumstances, any student enrolled in a cancelled class will be transferred to another suitable class in the same time and parents will be notified.
