Testimonials

  • We've had an amazing experience with Studio Ruby Chew's after school art classes this term. So much so, that we booked our kids (aged 9 & 12) into almost every day of the school holiday classes too! They've been coming home so excited to show off their new artworks and share all the creative techniques they've learned. Ruby is not only an incredible artist but also a warm and welcoming teacher. She has truly inspired my kids and made art a highlight of their week and holidays. We are definitely continuing these classes and highly recommend them to others!

    PARENT, AFTER SCHOOL ART CLASSES

  • Ruby's teaching philosophy sees and treats students as artists, not studiers of art which was empowering. She is able to facilitate a positive experience for the student's journey within the world of education and the arts. Student engagement with Visual Arts lessons at our school increased exponentially and it has created an entire shift in the way that our community views Art as a subject.

    - YEAR 5/6 TEACHER, CHRISTIES BEACH PRIMARY SCHOOL

  • Our 8 year old took part in the Anime and Comics session during Spring school break. Absolutely loved it, had an enjoyable and informative day. Not only enjoyed the activities, but said it was nice kids and they enjoyed the pace and breaks as well.

    PARENT, ART CLUB SCHOOL HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS

  • Ruby is a highly competent educator… she values the voices of young people, supporting them to visually communicate their own ideas through their art.

    - EDUCATION COORDINATOR, ART GALLERY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA

  • Ruby's content has been an inspiration for our son. He loves the creativity and the group of children he has connected with. Highly recommend!

    PARENT, AFTER SCHOOL ART CLASSES

  • [Ruby’s] dedication, professionalism, passion for her practice, acute attention to detail, paired with her immense creativity and curiosity to learn and to teach others, has led her to be one of our most senior and well-respected teaching artists.

    - PROGRAM COORDINATOR, CARCLEW

  • I've been attending the Studio Practice classes for over a year and its truly reignited my passion for painting! Despite dabbling in art for years, I've never experienced such personalised guidance and support until now. I love working on my own paintings and having the support of Ruby. My skills have progressed immensely thanks to Ruby's encouragement.

    - CURRENT STUDENT, STUDIO PRACTICE

  • Ruby’s creative holiday classes really bring out my son’s artistic streak and involve really useful activities about planning, workshopping ideas, and narrative development. He comes home in a great mood from the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which isn’t always the case for vacation care activities. We love Ruby’s vibe and the happy space she creates.

    PARENT, ART CLUB SCHOOL HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS

  • My daughter loved the school holiday class - she made new friends and the art she produced was creative, unique, inspired and made with quality materials - not like school art work that sometimes goes straight into the bin! Ruby was lovely and made my daughter feel comfortable and confident. We will definitely be back for another class soon.
