My daughter (8) enjoyed the summer camp so much, she couldn’t wait to go back everyday! It was a very friendly environment and she came home everyday with bags full of wonderful creations and art work. I would highly recommend

KIND WORDS
Sally is an excellent teacher with kids. She is very patient and very good in cultivating each child's unique potential. The studio offers a very good learning environment with different kinds of materials for different ages of children. My daughter has learned and improved her drawing and painting skills, as well as how to apply different mediums in her art works. She has greatly enjoyed her art classes with Sally. Thank you very much Sally for giving her such a wonderful experience in learning about art!

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.
- Amy
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. Can't recommend Studio 48 highly enough. My twin girls (aged 10) have been going for several years now and I can't imagine them not going! Sally is very talented and really great with the kids. It's so nice for them to have something every week which is fun and interesting, where they are supported and challenged - you never get the impression that they are told what to do (or what not to do) but rather inspired and encouraged.
The studio space is lovely and is very well equipped with loads of top quality materials and supplies and the kids use whatever they feel inspired to. It is not a huge class so they get lots of attention (as well as drinks and biscuits) so it feels like great value. Most of all they learn something while having a great time with nice people and they come home happy every week clutching something amazing
