Term 4: 2024 Art Studio Update!

This term at Lavender Art Studios has been a whirlwind of creativity and accomplishments! Our fully booked art excursions, supported by a team of up to eight excellent teachers and a manager, have been a tremendous success for young people and adults. Even though Term 4 bookings are now closed, we continue to welcome new students eager to join our regular classes. We’re also thrilled to have announced our 2025 art classes, festive holiday art workshops, and an exciting new set of holiday workshops specifically designed for teenagers.


Whether receiving a Certificate of Accomplishment or working toward this milestone, our students are making incredible artistic strides—congratulations to all on their dedication and growth! Adding to the excitement, we recently received a shipment of custom frames from our trusted framer of 25 years, ensuring that every piece is beautifully preserved. Term highlights include the High Country Art Retreats and the soothing very gentle yoga sessions in our Little Lavenders program, which feature relaxation exercises from Elita’s program book—a wonderful contribution from our studio manager a qualified yoga instructor.


The secret to our studio’s success lies in our harmonious team effort, which enables us to produce deeply rewarding artwork for all. With Elita overseeing the day-to-day administration, Greg inspiring his art classes, and our passionate support teachers fully immersed in creating and teaching, Lavender Art Studios is a thriving hub for artistic expression. And of course, our Draw and Paint Shop continues to offer a wide array of art supplies, supporting artists at every level. As we look forward to our annual staff gathering to reflect on this peaceful, productive, and creative year, we’re filled with excitement for the vibrant journey ahead in our growing studio community!


Thanks to all who support LAS & draw&paint art supplies.
