Welcome to Homeschool Classes 2026!

Homeschool Art Classes 2025

Looking to add something to your family’s homeschooling, unschooling or de-schooling experience?

We’re passionate about learning, discovering and new experiences. We’re also passionate about children and teens (and adults for that matter) being in the driver’s seat of their own learning. 

We recognise that all kids, just like adults, are different and need different things on different days and thrive in different ways.

We have a variety of options for families looking to add to, support, enrich or expand their children’s experiences.

Dive into Drawing

Daytime Class

Our Ages 9+ class is perfect for young artists who want to deepen their skills, learn new techniques and grow their own artistic style. Whether they’re beginners or already drawing constantly at home, every student is supported at their own level.

We explore more detailed and expressive drawing skills — things like shading, texture, depth, accurate observation, perspective and working from references. Students also learn practical approaches such as using grids to improve proportions, sketching anatomy and faces, and layering colour with pencils to create smooth blends and rich detail.

Projects are varied and inspiring. In Term 1, artists will dive into close-up flower studies inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe, design symbolic self-portraits in the style of Frida Kahlo, explore reflections and light, and work on imaginative concept designs and illustrated stories.

This class is relaxed, fun and welcoming — a space where older kids can challenge themselves, try new materials and begin (or continue) shaping a drawing style they feel proud of.

Commencing Wednesday 4th February – Wednesday 1st April

Painting Without Brushes

Artists will explore and experiment with a range of materials, techniques and painting tools (everything except brushes!) to create a series of abstract & other eye-catching artworks over two sessions.

Mask-Making

This will be a fun-filled messy activity that will begin with layering plaster strips on a mask mould.

Artists will then sketch their design and add any additional structures or features in the next stage and plaster these into their mask.

In the second session, artists will paint their masks and add any embellishments and finishing details to complete their mask.

Fully Booked

Wild Animal Painting

Over two weeks, artists will experiment with sketching and drawing a chosen wild animal from images, photographs and their own imagery. 

They’ll choose their favourite to sketch on canvas and use a variety of techniques, brushes and layers to create the texture, colours, shapes and detail of their wild animal and it’s habitat.

Fully Booked

Papier Mache Animals

Artists will design, construct, paint and collage a 3D animal or monster over three sessions.

In the first session, artists will design and construct their 3D creature and add layers of newspaper and glue (the papier mache).

In the second session they will paint their animal or monster and begin planning and making the additional features – feathers, scales, eyes, fluff to a tail, buttons, a water bowl, a tree or whatever else.

In the final session they will add finishing touches and put all the details together.

Di offers a safe, fun environment where children can use their imaginations freely to create. She inspires them, supports them and celebrates their successes with them. I have had two children attend Di's classes and both have truly loved their experience with her. Highly recommend.
