Parents after arts and crafts for kids in Ryde and Hunters Hill will find seven art studios and schools listed, mostly in Eastwood and Ryde, with one in Macquarie Park. We have nothing listed yet in Hunters Hill itself, and no arts events or one-off classes at the moment.

Where the studios are

  • Eastwood: ACE Art and Design School, VQ Art Studio, Infinity Art School and Artkookoo Art Studio
  • Ryde: Global Art Top Ryde and Abrakadoodle Art Studio for Kids
  • Macquarie Park: Global Art Macquarie Park

The clubs below this guide link to each one. We have not been given timetables, fees or age ranges, so please check those with each studio.

Eastwood is the place to compare

Four of the seven listings are in Eastwood, so it is the easiest place to compare studios in one trip. You could visit two in a morning and see which feels right for your child. Abrakadoodle Art Studio for Kids in Ryde is the only listing with kids in its name, which suggests a program built for children, but ask to be sure. The Global Art studios in Ryde and Macquarie Park give you a choice if Eastwood is out of your way.

If you live in Hunters Hill

We are still adding listings for Hunters Hill, Gladesville and the suburbs along the river. Until we do, the Ryde studios are the closest ones we can point to. Check travel time before you commit to a weekly class, because a trip that looks short on the map can take longer at school pick-up time.

Questions to ask before you enrol

  • Which ages does each class take?
  • Can we try one session before paying for a term?
  • Are materials included?
  • Is it drop-off, or can a parent stay?
  • What happens if we miss a week?

Next steps

Pick two studios, ask the questions above and book a trial if they offer one. We will keep adding arts events and workshops for Ryde and Hunters Hill as we find them. For the latest on what is running and whether there is space, use each studio's own page or phone number.

Built from Roolu's local listings. Dates, prices and ages can change, so check with each organiser before you go.
