Some things to expect your child’s creative time with us

Original characters and stories '

Every session starts with a question — what do you want to create today? Children develop their own characters and illustrate their own stories, guided by illustrator and artist Gunja.

Learning real illustration techniques

Children explore mixed media — inks, collage, paint and mark making — learning how professional illustrators combine materials to build a page. Every child takes their finished artwork home.

A calm, creative space to breathe

Small groups of maximum 6 children mean every child gets individual attention, encouragement and the space to work at their own pace.
