Kids in The Hills have a good spread of art schools, studios and clubs to try, mostly in Castle Hill and Kellyville, plus a craft corner for toddlers. Most are listed as clubs, so contact them about trial classes, ages and costs before you go.
What is on now
The only event we have listed at the moment is a colouring and craft corner for toddlers in Castle Hill. Check the events below for the current details, and ask the organiser whether a parent needs to stay. We're still adding more arts events for the area, so look back often.
Art schools and studios by suburb
- Castle Hill: Castle Hill Art Society, Young Artists, Global Art Castle Hill and Art 'N' Move are all listed.
- Baulkham Hills: Prep Art Centre is listed.
- Kellyville: KJS Brush and Canvas, Globalart Bella Vista and Glenwood Art Studio are listed.
- Rouse Hill: Charming Colours Art School and Global Art are listed.
Choosing a class
We don't have age ranges, prices or timetables for these listings, so a few questions help you pick the right one:
- Which ages does the class take, and does it group children by age?
- Can your child try one class before you commit?
- Are materials included, or do you bring your own?
- How long is each class, and does it run during the school holidays?
- Does a parent stay, or can you drop off?
For toddlers, the colouring and craft corner in Castle Hill is the one listing aimed at little ones. Short, messy sessions suit this age, so bring a spare set of clothes. For older children, ask the art schools and studios whether they run classes for your child's age and whether they have a beginner group.
If you live in one suburb, start with the studios closest to you. A short trip means your child is more likely to keep going. If two studios look similar, ask each for a trial so your child can choose the room and teacher they like best.
