We spent a really great time in the clay workshop, we learned and we got to make something special and unique, I recommend it 100%.

Aya C.

The staff are very friendly and so encouraging! We’ve brought friends to projects for their first clay work and they have had a blast. Queen B especially is great! She’s remembered comments I made about plans I have for glazing and made helpful suggestions to make sure the projects turn out the way I hope them to!

Bandna T.

Margarita was very sweet and informative with the process. I’d definitely take another clay class with her again in the future. This activity was perfect for us couples present and I would recommend for a group of friends too.

What makes our exploratory classes unique?

Your kid is going to love famous art galleries and telling you stories about the lives of famous artists after our classes!

5 reasons why parents love exploratory class

1. Artistic Adventures Through Time & Culture

Exploratory classes takes students on a creative journey through art history and cultures—no passport required! They’ll explore famous artists from around the world, uncover stories behind the artists, and create their own inspired art along the way.

2. Creative Exploration & Skill Building

Every project is designed to build key skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and imagination. Through painting, sculpting, and more, they’ll connect art with science, history, and storytelling — making learning colourful, engaging, and fun.

3. Friendship & Fun

Art class is a place to make friends and unforgettable memories. Kids bond over shared creativity, laughter, and lots of joyful messiness—because great art (and fun) can be a little messy!

4. Nurturing Environment for Creativity

Our cozy, supportive setting encourages self-expression and confidence. Every child feels valued as their creativity blooms, and they experience those “Proud Picasso” moments that boost self-esteem.

5. Masterpieces, Memories & Lifelong Passion

Students take home not just their art, but lasting memories and a a sense of accomplishment, and a lasting passion for learning and creativity.
