Our 1 hour long primary level art sessions offer a more directed approach to creativity. We set a new project each term (whether it be self portraits, exploring different art movements, mask making, doll making, environmental art, just to name a few examples) and follow the process from beginning to end, learning a multitude of techniques and skills, culminating in a beautiful finished artwork at the end of each term. All materials included.

All materials included.

TERM 1 2026 CLASS DATES: 10 February - 31 March

Now in Studio 2 at Rotorua Arts Village

TERM 1 2026 dates start from Wednesday 11 February 2026
Hour long creative exercise sessions for your imagination, which do not focus on your level of skill, or the quality of your output, what is important is the enjoyment and mindfulness you will find in the process.

These sessions are an absolute passion project of mine, borne from the strong desire to give our community art as a useful tool in the betterment of mental health and wellbeing.

Every week I put together creatively engaging exercises with simple materials, which will sometimes push you outside of your comfort zone, but should no matter what allow your brain to become deeply absorbed into a state of mindfulness, and ultimately leaving you feeling a sense of calm, even joyfulness, by the end of the session.
Attendance is on a casual basis, so there is no need for a whole term of commitment, just come as you are able.

No matter your skill set, if you are aged 15-109 you are warmly welcome to join us!
Suitable for any level of skill, all are welcome to attend.
