Creative experiences · Art studio

Every creation is a story.

Long rolls of paper, buckets of crayons and nobody saying "stay inside the lines". Little artists, and the grown-ups with them, sketch, paint and imagine their way to something they're proud to take home.

What's inside

Everything a creative mind needs, laid out and ready, so the only thing to bring is your imagination.

  • Endless paper

    Paper rolls run down every table. Go as big as the idea.

  • Every medium

    Crayons, pastels, pencils, paint and easels, all within reach.

  • Guided or free

    Follow a theme, or just follow your imagination.

  • Take it home

    Every masterpiece leaves with its artist.

  • Room for everyone

    Kids, parents, birthday crews. Bring a friend, make a mural.

How it works

Four easy steps from walking in to walking out with a story.

  1. Grab a seat

    Find your spot at the long art tables. Aprons on, sleeves up.

  2. Pick your tools

    Crayons, pastels, pencils, paint or an easel. Mix and match.

  3. Create your way

    Follow a theme, or just follow your imagination.

  4. Take it home

    Every masterpiece leaves with its artist.

We don't teach people to create. We help them remember they already can.

Good to know

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.

Is the art studio only for kids?

Not at all. It's designed for all ages, and grown-ups are very welcome to pick up a brush alongside the little ones.

Do we need any art experience?

None. There's no right or wrong here: "I don't have to get this right" is the whole idea.

What should we wear?

Clothes you don't mind getting a little colourful. We provide aprons, but paint has a way of finding its way around.

Can we take our artwork home?

Yes. Every masterpiece leaves with its artist.

Can the art studio be part of a party?

Absolutely. Add a creative session to a birthday or team day. See Parties & events.
