Pop-Up Sketch, Pen on Paper, Harriet, AJ Studio, 2026
Paper engineering has existed for centuries, from medieval manuscripts with moving parts to the extraordinary books of artists like Robert Sabuda, who can make a whole cathedral rise from a single sheet of card. It is one of the oldest forms of making, and one of the most quietly astonishing.

In this full-day program, we learn that craft. We will design, cut, fold, and build a book where every page has something to say and something to show — a world that springs to life the moment it opens.

We leave with a finished book that belongs to no one else. One that opens and arrives.
Are you yearning for a burst of excitement but only have a precious half day of free time?

Frequently asked questions
How do I book and when is payment due?
You can book online, or contact us to book by phone or message. If you book manually, we will send you an invoice. All bookings must be paid by the due date. Places are not held until payment is received.
What if I need to cancel?
If you cancel more than 14 days before the programme starts, we usually offer a credit for a future AJ Studio holiday programme. Refunds may be considered in some cases, but credits are preferred.
If you cancel within 14 days of the programme start date, we are unable to offer refunds. In some situations, a credit may be offered.
Credits are valid for the next two upcoming holiday programmes, for the same programme type and location, and are subject to availability.
Can I change my booked days?
Yes, if you let us know at least 24 hours in advance and if there is space available. A 15 dollar admin fee applies for each day changed.
If you booked a multi-day or weekly package and change any days, the package rate no longer applies and days are recalculated at the individual daily rate.
Example:
If you book a 5-day package at a discounted rate and later change two of the five days, the weekly package no longer applies. All five days are recalculated at the daily rate, and a 15 dollar admin fee applies for each day changed (for example, two changed days equals 30 dollars).
All changes are subject to availability and must be confirmed by payment.
What happens if my child is sick or misses a day?
We don’t offer refunds for missed days. In some cases, with supporting documentation, we may offer a credit for a future holiday programme, subject to availability.
Who can drop off and pick up my child?
Children are dropped off and picked up during our advertised programme hours.
Pick-up is by parents or legal guardians unless you email us in advance to authorise someone else to collect your child.
What if I’m running late for pick-up?
Late pick-up is charged at 25 dollars per hour, calculated in 15-minute increments. This helps cover staff time when programmes run beyond scheduled hours.
Is the programme nut-free and what should my child bring?
Yes, all our holiday programmes are nut-free. Please do not pack any nut or nut-containing products.
Please bring lunch, a water bottle, and any items listed for the programme, if applicable. Toys are allowed, but we recommend leaving favourite items, valuables, and devices at home.
Can AJ Studio take photos during the programme?
We sometimes take photos or short videos during programmes to document and share our work. You’ll be asked about consent when booking, and you can opt out at any time by emailing us.

What our learners say  

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."
- Student
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!"
- Student
... just downloaded the (your) app this afternoon... I'm so impressed with the detailed information included in the course. They are extremely handy and useful..."
- Student
We had been looking for a place like this for a long time. We didn't want our child coming home with something that looked like a Pinterest project. We know she's little and the work may look messy. What matters to us is that she is learning to think creatively."
- Parent
Our child used to attend another class where the artworks looked amazing after every session. But after a few years we realised she painted less and less at thome. It felt like she could no longer do it by herself. It was a good activity, but not enough teaching. At AJ Studio, she is learning skills she can use independently. And that's priceless for us as parents."
- Parent
We've been with the Studio for nearly 10 years and have never seen our child bored. The team clearly works hard to design real curriculum rather than simply saying 'here's a picture, now draw it'. That makes a big difference."
- Parent
At first we were a bit frustrated because our child's work didn't look good. I mean, they looked messy and looked like something he just did it at home. Friends encouraged us to stay with it as they've been coming in here for many years now. And after about a year we saw a huge change. Our boy now talks about ideas and just picks up a pen and starts drawing at home. That's when we understood what our friends meant when they said AJ Studio really teaches."
