Keep the kids busy (and buzzing) these holidays with creative workshops at The Suter. Each session pulls ideas straight from our current exhibitions and turns them into fun, hands-on projects your kids can actually get stuck into.

Set in the light-filled Mina Arndt Education Room overlooking the Queen’s Gardens, each workshop brings a fresh project, new materials, and plenty of space to experiment. Our tutors guide kids through painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media — all with a chilled, supportive vibe and small group sizes.

With small groups and plenty of one-on-one support, every child gets the attention they need to create something they’re proud of. And because the workshops change each holiday, there’s always something new to explore.

Please note:

• Each workshop we offer is a separate class, so it's important to arrange for a responsible adult to drop off and pick up the children at the beginning and end of each session. Thank you for your understanding!

• Class fees must be paid to secure a place for the term.

• Classes will not run unless a minimum number of enrolments is met.
