KIDS ART CLASSES

Kids Christmas Art Classes

  • On Friday the 20th of December.

    We will run 2 different classes. A morning session from 10am to 12pm and an afternoon session from 1pm to 3pm. Book one or both!

  • Classes are held at 4 Drapers Rd in Willow Vale and are suited to primary aged children aged 5 to 11 years.

  • Morning Session 10am - 12pm $70 early bird
    In this class children will create a stick Christmas tree with a Sami Sparrow design for the base and colourful decorations to match. Kids will also stuff baubles with beads, feathers, sequins, dried flowers, bath salt baubles, make colourful paper decorations and more.

    Afternoon session 1pm - 3pm $70 early bird
    In this session children will roll beeswax candles and decorate them with pipe cleaners, beads and ribbons. They will also create a Christmas artwork on a canvas, design Christmas cards and assemble paper chain decorations.

  • $75 for one session or $150 for both sessions.

  • These classes will be facilitated by both Rachel Moodie and Sami Sparrow. Both have valid ‘Working With Children Checks’.

  • Rachel's classes have been a place to flourish & freely create in such a supportive environment. Our kids would not have achieved the level of creativity & confidence they have today without her steady, kind, creative and supportive input. Best decision to join Rachel's classes.

  • Rachel's classes are the absolute highlight of our week! My daughter is a shy, sensitive girl and was hesitant to start this class- but she was completely hooked after the first one! The environment Rachel creates is like a warm hug, it's basically therapy for my daughter. She gets to do what she loves in a flexible, non-judgmental way and her art skills have come a long way. We can't praise Rachel enough!

  • Kids will need to wear clothes than can get messy or an apron and bring as water bottle and a snack.

  • Yes I absolutely do, as does anyone who works with me. :)
