Thursday 11th October 10am - 12 midday (Sorry Full)
A great way to give youth a sense of achievement through creativity. In this 2 hour fun art session, we’ll be painting a summer beach scene with a pohutakawa tree and cover the basics of watercolour painting. The drawing will already be done to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting. All materials will be supplied, just turn up empty handed and they'll leave 2 hours later with their own completed watercolour painting to be proud of and a smile of creative satisfaction on their dial.
Cost $25 (This class is generously sponsored by Watercolour New Zealand who have subsidized half of the $50 normal course fee for youth).
Suitable for ages from 7 years old through to late teens.
If you would like to be kept informed of future youth art classes please message me,
