ARTOLOGY
ARTOLOGY does: Kids art classes, little Pablo's toddler play group, adult De- stress nights, teen's classes, studio space for rent, birthday packages and team building workshops!
ARTOLOGY is a fun, highly enjoyable and certainly a stress reliever for adults and kids. Any activity that involves art and creativity is an excellent healing process for the mind, body and soul .
ARTOLOGY provide basic workshops, projects and activities for children from all age groups, including baby/toddlers.
Currently we have two classes running:
Wednesday afternoons for kids at 4pm and
Monday night at 8pm for adults.
So although we are small, ARTOLOGY is ambitious and plans to have more classes for both adults and kids. Soon we will be hosting a series of workshops with Local artists and a well known calligrapher. We will give you a chance to paint with the Art Masters and let them guide you step by step.
I have attached an advert for you. Please note that all days and times are flexible, so if you have a group that you enjoy painting with specifically, ARTOLOGY can arrange a suitable day for your group. Same with the kids: if you have more than 3 kids ARTOLOGY can also arrange another day and time.
