What we make

So many ways to get creative

Flat or 3D, wet or dry, neat or gloriously messy. Projects move through a huge range of mediums so every child finds the ones they love, and all materials are included.

  • Pen & ink
Fish & Pomegranates, painting, Grade 11

3D & sculpture

Thinking in three dimensions: building, casting and shaping, then glazing and painting the finished piece.

  • Kiln firing
  • Glazing
  • Pottery painting
  • Plaster of Paris
  • Papier-mâché
Collage rooster, mixed media, Grade 4

Mixed media & collage

Fresh from the studio

Made by our young artists

A few favourites on the easels. Grab a brush and paint the studio, or paint over a picture to find another. Every piece was made by a student in the club.

Pick a brush from the jar

Then paint anywhere in the studio, or over the pictures to find more.

Who it's for

From first crayons to portfolio work

Children join a group that suits their age and experience, and grow with the club year after year.

Grades 1–3

Little Makers

Colour, shape and texture through playful projects that build confidence with every material.

Grades 4–6

Explorers

Real drawing skills, painting techniques and bigger ideas told through art.

Grades 7–9

Creators

Technique meets personal style. Students work within the brief they are given, bring their own take to it and push their skills.

Grades 10–12

Studio

Portfolio-level work, exhibitions and finding an individual voice as an artist.

Why Mrs. S

Serious about art, never too serious

A studio where mistakes are just discoveries, and every finished piece is something to be proud of.

All materials included

Paint, paper, clay and kiln firing are all part of the fees. Children just need to arrive.

Grade 1 to matric

Children grow with the club, and many stay with Mrs. S for their whole school career.

Portfolios and scholarships

Eisteddfod results, art references and portfolio pieces have helped many students win scholarships.
