Classes
Each term Te Tuhi offers a comprehensive range of art, design, and lifestyle classes, for both adults and children. Both daytime and evening classes are available as well as an after school programme for children. Most classes range between eight to ten weeks in length. We limit the number of students per tutor to ensure the quality of our classes so it is essential to book in advance.

Contemporary Acrylic Painting
Tutor: Andrew Barns-Graham
Term 1: 9 week courses starting 8/9 February, $174
Andrew Barns-Graham is a full-time practicing artist and a graduate of Elam school of Fine Arts, University of Auckland. Andrew shows regularly at Sanderson Gallery. A Wallace Art Award finalist and artist in residence at Kings College, his work has been featured in many publications including "New Zealand's favourite painters". As a specialist in acrylic painting, his own work explores the human form. Working initially from photography allows Andrew time to edit and recompose the image, ultimately amplifying and simplifying elements. The result is the hard edged, flat and antigestural style for which he is known.
