What’s included in the price:
All the materials the children will use during the day (We are very generous with art supplies and use materials of the highest quality only. Our students use rare art materials such as plaster, paper clay, craft glue, artist-quality acrylic paints and highest quality paper and canvas boards. All this is included in the price!) 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). We also pre-make a lot of custom-made spare parts for our camp creations to ensure children’s artworks look unique and elaborate.
