Do you like to eat oysters? Some people love them, some people really do not. And that is completely fine. You might even absolutely detest them. Which makes the phrase "the world is your oyster" a bit confusing, especially if seafood is not your thing.

But that phrase is not really about oysters.

In this holiday programme, we take creative tools and use them to explore what the idiom *the world is your oyster* actually means.

In the morning, we work with visual art. We design and create our own oyster artworks, starting with a simple shell on the outside and imagining a detailed, unexpected world inside. Through drawing, painting, and collage, we focus on storytelling, contrast, and personal ideas.

In the afternoon, we dig deeper using a different creative language: coding. We translate our ideas into sequences, logic, and blocks, discovering how small steps can build something complex.

The world is your oyster when you are learning and thinking. Fun without thinking is not always learning, and we are very good at getting brains ticking while creativity stays joyful.

Come spend the day with us and see where your ideas might lead!

Please pack a lunch, morning and afternoon tea, and a drink bottle for your child. AJ Studio is a nut-free space. The timetable is a guide only, as some projects may take longer or wrap up sooner. We may also adjust the schedule if needed.

Each program is built on brand new learning material, so we won’t have sample artworks until after the class. The images shown are just examples to give you a feel for the theme of the day. If you’d like to know more, please get in touch with the studio, we’re happy to help.

The online lessons are great! Tutor's instructions were very clear and straightforward, I must recommend it to our friends. Also it's very fun. Really, the lessons are so different online, and the way AJ Studio does it is truly thoughtful, respect to you all.

One and a half term of oil painting lessons, I feel **** has improved a lot. From when she first started not even able to paint neatly, to rows of finished artworks on the wall in our garage, looking forward to send you a photo of them all at the end of this term!
