art with erin is a mobile art studio now coming to Warrandyte in 2027! Located in the beautiful studio at Integrated Trauma Therapy Therapeutic & Creative Services, art with erin offers kids art classes, birthday parties and school holiday activities, as well as workshops and special events. The focus is on creativity, self-expression and the joy of art making as much as it is on building skills and confidence. Your child will leave the class with a creation that is uniquely theirs. The studio is also a space to build connections and be part of an artistic community.
We are also hoping to begin workshops for adults, a nature journalling group, and art play classes for pre-schoolers later in the year. Please get in touch if this is something you’d be interested in.
