Art Box Workshops

My daughter has been doing weekend art classes here over last couple of years. She enjoys the classes, and as well as learning about drawing and painting, likes trying out other media including sculpture and printing. Even during covid, the online classes have worked out!

Our daughter has been attending the Saturday morning Art Box Workshops with Julia for more than three years now. As well as learning a variety of foundational art processes, she finds the studio environment to be welcoming and engaging, and tells us it is a peaceful way to start her morning. The recent move to online classes has been a positive experience so far. As Isabella explains, Julia’s approach is very much the same as it is in-studio, with quality, detailed instruction and explanations. She actively communicates with her students through weekly Zoom meetings and emails, giving them an opportunity to ask questions and seek feedback. We are really impressed with the way Julia has made this transition, enabling the students to continue with their weekly lessons.

My daughter has really enjoyed the various art box workshops - both school holiday and weekly term classes. The workshops explore different aspects of painting, drawing and modelling and there is always an impressive piece of art to bring home at the end. The small group nature of classes combined with the professionalism of the teachers is a great forum for school children to explore their artist and creative side in a structured yet fun way. The classes have also been able to continue through lockdown as well. I highly recommend considering artbox to other parents and their children.

My daughter has really enjoyed attending the art classes. Each term is different and there is good engagement which allows her to easily learn new techniques.

Júlia is amazing!
She helped me explore different varieties of techniques including charcoal, watercolour, sculptures and many others.
I love coming to the classes and enjoy morning tea there, I love it so much that I’m going back for a third year …
Under her guidance I even had one of my drawings displayed at Mosman Gallery earlier this year…

Highly recommend Art Box Workshops. I am an Early Childhood Teacher at Explore & Develop Artarmon and I arranged for Julia to run weekly sessions during term 4,2018 with the Senior Preschool children. Julia had exceptional skills and knowledge and worked with the children to create a clay sculpture of a cockatoo. The children gained great experience from these sessions, thanks to Julia's creative teaching. We will definitely seek Julia from Art Box Workshops for sessions in the future.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed Julia's art classes over the last year and a bit. It's a fun activity to look forward to after school and a healthy snack at the start, kindly offered as a part of the class, gets the creative juices flowing! Thanks Julia

Julia and the Studio do fantastic job with the kids. I am always amazed with the art works what my son creates.
