• No fees!! just a Gold coin koha per session.
• Starting Thursday 23rd July | 3:30pm – 5pm
• 10 Week Creative Programme at my studio

I’m starting a small, student-led art club for creative teens/tweens in intermediate and college (juniors) who genuinely want to learn and make art in a supportive creative space.

Over 10 weeks students will:

• Learn a range of art techniques and creative skills
• Create a finished painting
• Get their own sketchbook and art materials to take home
• Be encouraged to explore their own interests and style
• Learn from a working professional artist in a real studio environment

This course is designed to help young people connect with creativity, confidence, and community.

Most importantly — this class is koha/donation based.
I want to make art accessible for teens who may not normally have the opportunity to attend private art classes, but who are enthusiastic, committed, and excited to learn.

Spaces will be limited so I can give students proper support and attention throughout the course.

• Thursdays from 23rd July
• 3:30pm – 5pm
• 10 weeks
• Register interest @ dawnduthieartist@gmail.com 

Please share with families who have creative teens looking for a welcoming place to grow their skills.
