Spring 2024 school holiday art workshops: Book now

Let your child, embark on a spellbinding journey this Spring school holidays with our two-week Fantasy Art Adventure, crafted especially for young dreamers.



Our enchanted workshops are bursting with the vibrancy of nature and creativity, as children immerse themselves in magical worlds where springtime blooms, mythical creatures roam, and fairy tales come to life. Through acrylic painting, printmaking, and sculpting, young artists will capture the essence of dragons soaring over blossoming meadows, castles rising amidst lush forests, and enchanted gardens where fairies dance in the morning dew.


Each day unfolds like a new chapter in a living storybook, with art bars bringing to life the beauty of nature and imagination, while our special Posca pen workshop lets children create vivid realms filled with the colours of spring and the wonders of the natural world. Adding to the enchantment, live harp music played by Lavender Art Studio’s in-residence harpist will fill the air, with melodies perfectly tuned to each magical theme, creating an immersive atmosphere that inspires creativity.


But the magic doesn’t stop there! We’ll delve into the heart of traditional fairy tales, where brave knights venture into enchanted forests, wise old wizards brew potions from rare herbs, and princesses find their way through blooming mazes. Imagine creating art that brings to life classic stories of magical creatures and heroic quests, all set against the backdrop of a fantastical, nature-inspired world. We’ll also explore underwater kingdoms where mermaids dance in coral gardens and reach for the stars as we explore the heavens and skies above, imagining celestial beings in harmony with the natural universe. For those with a futuristic flair, we’ll dive into a world where technology and nature intertwine, creating visions of tomorrow’s enchanted realms.


With over 25 years of hands-on experience, our skilled staff will guide young artists every step of the way, supported by a professionally fitted-out art studio equipped with the finest art supplies. Plus, with surprise new fantasy inclusions awaiting discovery, every moment is a chance to create something extraordinary. All materials are provided, and the cost includes delightful morning and afternoon tea, making this the ultimate creative escape for your little artists, inspired by the wonders of nature, fantasy, and the soothing strains of live harp music.
