Children's Art Classes in Leith

Our fun and supportive term-time art classes run throughout the week for children aged 8+ in a welcoming, creative environment led by passionate, qualified instructors. At our cosy Leith studio, we inspire young artists to explore drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media, crafts, and digital art through new hands-on projects each week, while discovering art history and learning new techniques. With personalised attention and friendly guidance, children build confidence, creativity, and friendships in a community where every artistic spark is celebrated.

All materials, aprons, snacks, and drinks are included, and children take home their artwork every session. We also offer free on-site parking and free early drop‑off 20 minutes before class to make your experience as smooth as possible.

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 daughter has been attending Sally's class over the last year or so and looks forward to it each week. She loves the laid back atmosphere, quality materials and Sally's guidance. Her confidence in her artwork has developed immensely ❤️

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
