​No more bored kids!! A creative child is never bored.

​Workshops: 


Clay sculpture:

For children who love art, spend a fun day drawing your character then sculpting them with clay. 


Picture book workshop: Students will receive fun writing tasks based around story structure, developing a character and story development. Then  they will draw the pages and set up the book.

Both writing and drawing tasks will be included. They will have a complete picture book to take home. 

Bring your children and teens to these workshops and help them develop their art and writing interest and skills so they are never bored.
