1 AWESOME WORKSHOPS FOR CREATIVE KIDS

2 AWESOME WORKSHOPS FOR CREATIVE KIDS Inkling Art Space is a magical studio in Fremantle s historic West End. Our studio is nestled behind Paper Bird Children s Books - where we are surrounded by sunshine, art, science and inspiring books. We run incursions, excursions and workshops throughout the year with a focus on building art skills and critical thinking. OUR APPROACH We have a commitment to providing authentic arts experiences for children, and adults, and strive to build skills in a supportive, caring environment. EVERYONE IS AN ARTIST We run workshops and classes that inspire you to discover something new for yourself. Whether you are a new artist, or a pro, we aim to provide a safe, inspiring space for your art making and learning. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME All ages and abilities are welcome in the Inkling Studio. We believe that diversity feeds creativity - just let us know if you re bringing a carer or an interpreter so we can be prepared. GOOD TOOLS MAKE GREAT ART Have you ever tried to colour-in with a cheap pencil? The colour is pale, the marks are dull and it turns making art into hard work. At Inkling we believe in using the best materials we can afford pencils and paints that make bold marks and spark your imagination, crisp paper that works with you rather than tearing and crumpling. We work with the tools and techniques that we use ourselves in our own arts practice. All of our materials are good quality, responsive and inspiring. OUR TEAM The Inkling Team has a wide range of arts specialties and skills. We are all friendly, amazing artists who bring our enthusiasm, experience (and sometimes live snakes!) to every class. WE CAN T WAIT TO MAKING SOMETHING AMAZING WITH YOU SOON. PHONE admin@inklingarts.com.au WEB
