Every session is guided by an experienced art tutor, alongside a wonderful team of volunteers who are always happy to offer encouragement, guidance, and a helping hand. With a wide variety of tools, materials, and equipment available, you'll have the freedom to explore new ideas, experiment with different techniques, and enjoy the creative process at your own pace. It's a place where creativity, connection, and confidence can grow together.
Classes run from from 9.30-11.50am and 1.00-3.10pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. All materials are provided and sessions are $25 per student per session.
