We prioritise facilitating a creative, respectful and positive environment for all students. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. We follow a restorative practice approach, encouraging students to reflect on their actions and make amends. While we always aim to guide students gently back on track, if a child continues to struggle with this after a few reminders, we'll reach out to parents to discuss the best way forward and may ask you to pick up your child early. Our goal is to support every student in having a great experience!

Please wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that you don't mind getting a bit dirty.
We recommend wearing sleeves that can be easily pulled up for hands-on activities.

For longer workshops:
Layers are great, so they have the option of putting on a jacket if we sit outside. A hat and sunblock is encouraged.

Comfort is key, so feel free to dress in whatever makes you feel at ease!

If your child is unwell, we kindly ask they refrain from attending classes to ensure the comfort and well-being of everyone.

If a student misses a class due to illness, we offer make-up classes based on availability. Please reach out to us to schedule a make-up session!

We understand coming to Art classes can be overwhelming for some budding artists - you're most welcome to stay until they feel settled!

From there, we encourage children to participate independently in our classes. This helps foster their creativity and self confidence.

We want all students to feel comfortable in our classes. Our instructors are experienced in creating a welcoming and nurturing environment for everyone!

If you'd like to chat further, we'd love to hear from you! Any further info to help us make our Art classes the best experience for your child is very welcome! Please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Absolutely! We offer Buds Bundles and other discounts for multiple bookings. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Our day is broken into 2 workshops with an overarching concept & theme.

We'll have a recess, lunch and afternoon breaks across the day, along with 'brain breaks' where needed to assist with flow, creativity and focus. Some of our breaks will be taken outside in the onsite park/playground. See our location info here.

Some photography and video will be taken during workshops to document the day.

Half day students - please bring a water bottle and a nut free snack.

Full day students - please bring a water bottle, a nut free snack and a nut free lunch.

Kids are also welcome to bring any show-and-tell items like artwork they’ve done at home or a book with inspiring images— just nothing too precious.
