Summer Holiday Art Workshops
Planet Earth & Beyond!
Get ready to blast off these school holidays with Lavender Art Studios’ thrilling new art program: Planet Earth & Beyond! Across two vibrant weeks, young artists aged 5–13 will journey through galaxies, invent alien landscapes, sculpt rocket ships, and paint exploding stars—all while exploring a wide range of professional art materials and techniques.
Children will work with Posca pens, oil pastels, acrylic paints, Inktense art bars, watercolour pencils, and more—learning how to layer, blend, and build texture in playful and meaningful ways. Our sessions are carefully designed to spark imagination and confidence, while also developing real artistic skills through hands-on projects. Each morning and afternoon workshop introduces a new creative concept inspired by space science, the natural world, and beyond.
With our studio stocked with rich materials and guided by experienced artist-educators, students will create glowing galaxies, erupting volcanoes, sculpted alien fossils, and futuristic space suits. Whether your child is just beginning their art journey or ready to explore new frontiers, Planet Earth & Beyond promises a colourful and creative adventure like no other.
