Home School Parent Says.-
It’s the only activity we’ve found that truly meets my child where they are — gently, creatively, without overwhelm.”
“We’d tried a few programs that were too loud or fast. This one finally felt like home.”
“He looks forward to it all week. He’s proud of his work — and that matters more than any test score.”

“We were looking for a space where creativity could be part of our learning, without stress. This has become a highlight in our week.”
“There’s something really grounding about having this class each week. It’s more than art — it’s connection, confidence, and calm.”

Can I drop in and see the space first?
Absolutely. We know how important it is to feel comfortable before starting something new. You're welcome to visit the studio, meet one of our artists, and get a feel for the space — no pressure to book.
Do you cater for neurodivergent children or those with sensory needs?
Yes.
Our sessions are intentionally calm, with small groups, low noise, and sensory-friendly materials.
Let us know in the form if your child has specific needs — we’re happy to adapt.

If you’re enrolling more than one child, we’ll offer a small sibling discount.
Class minimums apply, and bookings will open once we’ve confirmed final session days.
