Do you ever dream of having your own pet? Or perhaps you love the idea of having one but feel a bit nervous when it gets close. Animals have been wonderful friends to humans for as long as we can remember! Whether you are a proud pet owner, wish to be one, or feel a little unsure, we can all combine our artistic expression and our love for furry cuteness to create amazing 'pawsome' buddies as our companions. Join us in this 8-session module where we learn new art techniques while meeting animals that inspire creativity and help us bring stories to life!

In each session, you will discover a different 'pawsome' friend, using a mix of art materials—from watercolours to textured paper—to create your own amazing furry companion. Let's explore shapes, colours, and add personality to our creations.

Parental attendance is not recommended for this age group, but you are welcome to stay and observe until your child feels comfortable. The tuition fee includes all materials and resources required for the sessions unless otherwise stated.

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.
