Children's January Holiday Workshops
Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts is once again providing your children with high-quality and creative holiday fun.
Teahing our children's classes are skilled tutors who are practicing artists and experts in their field. We offer a range of classes to encourage and stimulate children from the age of 5yrs and up. At Te Tuhi children learn through fun and enjoyment.
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. Children please bring a snack and wear old clothes. To not miss out, book in early! Call 577 0138.
