What happens when aromatic espresso meets artistic expression? Beautiful, vibrant artworks! Designed for 9-16-year-olds who love to daydream and are eager to roll up their sleeves and act on their visions, this series of 9 sessions will help you progress in your understanding of colour palettes, how to express the rustic charm of coffee, the ambiance of bustling spaces, and the intricate beauty of your imaginative creations. Your sessions are a blend of structured teaching and guided creative freedom.

This 120-minute workshop is suitable for students aged 9 to 16. No previous experience is required; however, enrolment in either Sketchbook Challenge or Super Matisse is recommended. Parental supervision is not required. Students enrolled for the full term will enjoy access to all course content via the Studio website. Materials are not included. Please bring your own paint set. The starter pack can be ordered below or directly from the studio.

Frequently asked questions
1 What happens if I miss a class?
If you feel sick, please stay home and apply a catch-up lesson at a later time. Or, if you feel well enough, please join your session online via our app or this website. Regrettably, we can only provide catch-up lessons within your enrolled term based on availability. Any unused credit cannot be carried over to the following term.
2 What's your refund policy in a nutshell?
For the fairness of the other students, for our clever tutors who provide the lessons that you love, the studio cannot offer a refund if you change your mind. Our in-studio workshops are strictly made up of the limited number of students enrolled before the start of each school term and have the appropriate resources allocated to accommodate the optimal learning experience for all students in the course. To ensure the staff and supplies can be maintained for the course, payment for their use cannot be refunded so that the remaining students may continue the learning and development they paid for. In the event of Covid-19 restrictions, workshops will resume online. No refund can be issued if you decide not to participate in online sessions.
3 What do I need to bring to class?
If you are joining the workshop in person, just bring your lovely self! Please bring your own art pack for Clever Canvas™, Sketchbook Challenge™ and Super Matisse™ lessons. If you are joining online, great! Ensure your device is fully charged, and check with your tutor beforehand about what supplies you may need to prepare.
4 Which class should I join?
Choosing a class that suits your age group would be a great way to start. Your tutor will advise you if moving up or down a level may be more beneficial for your child. Check out the 'Find My Workshop' page for more details.
