In each class, each child will be given the opportunity to create three artworks using different mediums each term or to work on a harder piece. Each class is planned by qualified educator and owner, Renee Burgess. This class is 75 to 120 minutes long.

The Art of Collage and Recycled Creations
In this term’s Collage and Recycled Art, children will explore creative ways to use recycled materials and natural mediums to produce imaginative works. The focus will be on collage, mark-making, and expressive projects that connect with the outdoors. Students will learn to experiment, tell stories through art, and develop their unique style while creating sustainable art pieces.


Adult Mindful Art
Each class is programmed using art therapy principles and using art as a mindfulness activity. Each week we will work on one artwork in the 75min class.


Inclusive Art and Craft classes for people living with a disability
These workshops will be designed to create joy and promote wellness through craft and art play. Each workshop we will work on one craft/art activity in the 1-hour class.
