July School Holiday Programs & Book Now
Calling all artists from 6 to 18, from beginners to HSC students – school holiday workshops are now on!
With small groups, individual attention and an emphasis on creativity and experimentation, the NAS holiday programs are a great way to begin or extend a life in art. There are even specialist classes for high school students who want to extend their learning outside the confines of a classroom.
All classes take place in a creative studio environment and are given by artist-lecturers who have a deep and practical knowledge of the potential that art offers to young people. Programs are offered in drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, photomedia and textiles.
