2026 EcoArt Term 4

EcoArt classes use nature as inspiration, subject matter, and sometimes even material, encouraging children to slow down, observe closely, and explore their creativity through a range of hands-on art experiences.

This program is perfectly suited for primary school-aged children (6+ years). No previous art experience is required—just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to have a go!

Classes are kept intentionally small to ensure plenty of individual guidance and support. EcoArt provides a welcoming, inclusive environment where children can develop artistic skills, confidence, and creative thinking while having fun.

🖌️ Classes run for 1.5 hours
