Our Philosophy
Our approach to teaching recognises that every child is unique; we nurture creative expression by teaching techniques and skills in a range of media and by giving children choices, time, space and lots of encouragement. Students at The Little Makery also benefit from small class sizes with a high teacher to child ratio.
Art with Heart
