After School Classes
Te Tuhi engages skilled tutors who are practicing artists and experts in their field to teach children's classes. We have a range of classes to encourage and stimulate children from the age of 5yrs.
Working in a professional studio situation and in a safe environment, the children are given individual support and feedback, recognising their unique skills and differences. We limit the number of students per tutor to ensure the quality of our classes, so it is essential to book in advance.
