My son has been going to the Creative Critters art class on Fridays for a couple of years now and he loves it. Sally and team are lovely and have created an amazing space for the kids to have lots of creative fun.

KIND WORDS

My daughters (8 and 10) did a camp at Studio 48 for one of the school holidays and were thrilled with all the diverse activities they got to do and what they learned - I have never seen them so switched on from a camp - they came home and wanted to show us how they learned to draw manga and tell us all about it. I would highly recommend Studio 48 - Sally-Ann also made them feel very comfortable at the studio.

I visited Studio 48 with friends to do some tie dying. Sally was very helpful throughout the whole afternoon and the group all had a great time! Can’t wait to see what our art turns out like!!

My daughter and her friends had such a lovely birthday party at Studio 48. They all had loads of fun and all came away with several creations that they had made - feeling super proud of themselves! Sally-Ann made all the kids and grown ups alike feel welcome and at home. It was a dream. Thank you! All the stars!
