Draw, Paint, Sculpt
At MEGANZ School of Visual Arts
Our term 4, after-school, evening, and Saturday Art-Development courses are beginning from 14th of October. They are based in Cockle Bay, Auckland. For ages 10 through to adults.
Our focus is on drawing, painting, and sculpture. Our course structure is based on a combination of tutor and student-initiated projects.
Students can work at their own pace, and from their own chosen themes and ideas. We help them achieve their aims.
(As it is Xmas coming up at the end of this term, you or your child may want to create that special present for someone they love.)
The school is run by Megan Murphy and is based in a home studio. It has been operating since 2007.
Please contact Megan to make a 20-minute appointment time to meet, before you would like to join the course. We will discuss your or your child's initial aims and see what art materials you will need and which time slot suits you.

Denim, but make it one-of-a-kind 💙
Not every pair of jeans makes it to the rack... but that doesn’t mean their story ends there. Our talented volunteer Annie has been transforming damaged denim into handcrafted bags, hats and aprons in our Onehunga SPCA Op Shop ✂️🧵
This latest batch even features her own hand-sewn designs, and customers have been loving them, they sell almost as soon as they hit the shelf!
It’s creativity, sustainability and community all stitched together, helping animals in need 🐾

Step by step for a great cause!
Our amazing Hillary Hikers from Edmund Hillary Village showed their support for Bowel Cancer New Zealand's Move Your Butt campaign this month!
Sporting the bright purple and orange campaign shirts, these wonderful walkers hit the Auckland waterfront and marched from Mission Bay to Kohimarama, raising awareness for bowel cancer and the importance of early detection along the way.
