We offer small art classes to children aged 5 years to Adult, a safe, calm, neurodiverse inclusive environment to be creative and explore art. Our guided art classes are run by owner Hannah Munster, a professional children’s book illustrator and graphic artist spanning a 25-year successful professional career. Her classes hold up to 12 students, and every class also has a teaching assistant. We believe the process of making and learning art is more important than the result achieved. Learning new skills and appreciating the creating journey in an inclusive accepting environment, is more important than becoming the next Picasso.

Our classes run in line with the state school terms, for 10 weeks. Taking place once a week for a 1-hour ($30 per class, $300 for the term). The classes are paid in full at the start of every term, invoiced via email. This fee includes all materials and aprons to protect clothing. Our facilities are air conditioned for warm and cold weather. We have toileting facilities, wash up area, waiting area for parents inside and outside, ample free parking spaces and are accessible for wheelchairs. Make-up classes are available should you not be able to attend one week, but no refunds.

Each term lesson plans are created prior to commencement in the school holidays by Hannah and staff, these are announced weekly on social media so children can be told prior to class what the activity will be, for those that prefer to know the intent to prepare before arrival.

We give art awards to all children at the end of each term to celebrate their achievements in art and mindfulness and run regular art competitions for prize packs throughout the year, to encourage bravery, resilience in competing and pride in their artistic creations. This is purely optional and not mandatory.

Come and have a trial class before committing to our term offering. We have many art supplies and even some of Hannah’s illustrated children’s books available to buy in the studio, so come in and have a look. Hannah will even sign your purchased copy!
