What we offer schools

After-school clubs

Weekly programmes that go deeper into specific skills. We handle the curriculum and logistics; your students learn from someone who makes art for a living.

In-class workshops

Sessions built around your curriculum. We bring the expertise and the materials, so teachers can focus on learning outcomes.

Large-scale projects

Murals and installations a school community makes together and keeps. We manage the design, the work and the cleanup.

Summer outreach

Programming for school-run summer camps and community initiatives, at studio quality.

Programmes

Sculptural creations

Clay, plasticine and plaster: 3-D art without a kiln, inspired by modern artists and the world around them.

Drawing & painting

Colour mixing, technique and self-expression. Students build confidence while turning ideas into their own work.

Senior school

For older students: observational drawing and anatomy, with the rigour of a professional studio.
