Step into the magical realm of The Gruffalo’s Woods with our specially designed art course for children aged 5 to 7. Over 11 sessions, young artists will explore the vibrant and mysterious world of the Gruffalo using a variety of artistic techniques. Each lesson is a unique project, from creating textured forest backgrounds and crafting character masks to building miniature dioramas. Children will use materials like watercolors, clay, and recycled items, fostering a tactile connection with the story’s setting and characters.


Parents are welcome to observe quietly until their child feels comfortable, although we find that children engage best in this age group when they explore independently. The tuition fee covers all necessary materials, ensuring each child is fully equipped to express their creativity. Join us for a journey through The Gruffalo’s Woods where your child’s imagination will flourish, crafting not just art but a deep-seated love for creative expression.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ 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.
FAQ 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.
FAQ 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.
FAQ 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.
