Question 1

What ages does this suit?

Accepted Answer

1-5

Question 2

Can I bring a younger sibling along?

Accepted Answer

Yes of course! Siblings under 1 year old can come along free of charge

Question 3

My kid is a bit of a clean freak, how will this work?

Accepted Answer

This is a perfect experiment for them! Often kids who like to be clean at home, are fine to be covered in paint elsewhere, so it can be good expose them to mess. If it doesn't go as planned, we can clean their hands, or they can opt for crayons and pencils instead.

Question 4

My kid doesn't really like art, will they be ok?

Accepted Answer

Some kids don't like drawing, and that's ok. But most kids like painting! And they like mess! And there are also other things like stamps and stickers. If your kid doesn't seem to like art, you can still attend. Afterall, these classes are all about teaching kids to love art.

Question 5

Do I need to stay?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you need to stay with your child. They will prefer it!

Question 6

I'm not creative myself, will I be ok?

Accepted Answer

It's perfectly fine! You don't actually need to do anything, just come along and sit next to your child. You can encourage them, you can help them, but also, if you don't want to, you can just sit! You've come to the right place, because I'll be creative for you.

Question 7

Can I bring a friend?

Accepted Answer

If there's room in the class you can absolutely bring a friend! Please tell them to book online if possible, or if they would like to simply drop-in, they can (as long as there is room). Generally I post on social media if there are spots available for drop-ins, or if a class is a sell out.

Question 8

I don't know anyone, is that ok?

Accepted Answer

Most people coming to these classes are coming alone, so don't worry at all about that.

Question 9

Do I need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

All materials will be supplied. I have some art smocks but if you have your own I'd suggest bring it along. Bring a snack in case your little one gets hungry.

Question 10

Can I bring snacks?

Accepted Answer

Yes!
