🎨 Term 3 has officially started! 🎨
Our studio is already buzzing with creativity, and it is so wonderful to see our students hard at work!
From hand-building delicate clay designs and shaping beautiful ceramic bowls, to studying classic portraiture at the easel and painting stunning watercolor cityscapes, the inspiration is flowing.
The best part? We still have a few spots available for this term!
If you or your child has been looking for a sign to get creative, learn a new skill, or maybe you`d just like to carve out some relaxing studio time for yourself, this is it. We`d absolutely love to have you join our community.
