Private Events

Birthday Parties

Our Birthday Parties for children aged 5+ are structured to ensure everyone who attends walks away with a completed artwork, but also has a fun and exciting time at our studio.

We believe that our space offers children with sensitive and creative personalities a unique
venue where their quest to express is taken seriously.
