What’s a cartographer? Oh, you would love that job! It’s someone who creates maps—all kinds of maps! What a fancy and fun word for a map-maker!

In this module, come join us as a cool cartographer and explore the places that make you smile. You’ll design maps that capture your favourite places, memories, and even imagined worlds. Each session is a new adventure! You’ll draw, paint, and craft your way through different styles of maps, from dreamlike landscapes to fantastical treasure trails. Using colours, shapes, and symbols, you’ll tell stories about secret hideouts, magical kingdoms, or even your “happy place.”

Designed for children aged 7 to 10. By the end of the module, you’ll have created your own collection of vibrant, one-of-a-kind maps. These artworks will be as unique as you are—showcasing the worlds you carry inside your imagination and heart.

  We create fresh new lessons weekly, images here are for inspirations and indications only, of the level and content of this course.

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.
