HOLIDAY ART CAMPS

🦁 Draw Your Favourite Character (ages 5-7)

Two qualified art teachers on site if we are fully booked to ensure individual attention to each child enrolled. Using other studio materials during the day in between the art making sessions – there is no TV watching at WonderLab with the children engaged in art making the whole day (drawing with ink and soft pastels, painting with watercolour, modelling with clay and plasticine – our students bring home a lot of creations after the camps).
