Something creative to look forward to these holidays.
Fun, hands-on art workshops for children who want to spend part of their school holidays creating, experimenting and making something of their own.
Each holiday brings new projects, materials and creative possibilities — with guidance and encouragement throughout.
School Holiday Workshops
A little more time to get creative
School holiday workshops give children the chance to spend longer exploring a creative project than they might during a regular weekly class.
Workshops may include drawing, painting, clay, sculpture, mixed media, building, crafting or something completely different.
Some workshops focus on creating a particular project, while others are designed around experimenting with a medium or theme.
Every workshop is different, but they're all about having fun and making something with your own hands.
What can they expect?
Create
Spend time immersed in a hands-on creative project
Explore
Try materials and techniques they might not normally have the opportunity to use.
Experiment
Make choices, try ideas and discover what happens.
Have Fun
A relaxed holiday activity where there are no school assignments or grades involved.
Upcoming Workshops
The next workshops are coming soon

Every holidays can be a little different.
Past workshops and creative projects have included everything from painting and drawing to clay, miniature worlds, mixed media, sculpture and imaginative builds.
I love giving children the opportunity to try something they might not normally choose — while still leaving room for them to put their own personality into what they create.
New workshop ideas are developed throughout the year, so there's always something different to look forward to.
Workshops are designed for children within the advertised age range of each individual workshop.
Some workshops are suitable for beginners, while others may be designed around a particular skill or project.
No previous art experience is usually required unless specifically stated.
Who can join?
Want creativity to be part of their regular week?
If your child loves the holiday workshops and wants more opportunities to create throughout the year, our weekly Creative Kids Classes offer an ongoing creative space to explore different materials, develop skills and work on their own ideas.
