The theme is Magic ⭐

 

⭐

The theme this Term is Magic and the kids in the after school classes are expressing their vision of what is Magical in to their creations. One of the beautiful things about artistic expression is that we all have our own ideas about things. And this is what makes us so unique, what makes the world interseting and what bring originality and inspiration to us all.

Ready to Create Magic in 2026

🌟Happy New Year everybody!

In a few weeks the Term 1 classes are starting again.

How has 2026 been so far for you?

Have you made a slow beginning, taking the pressure off from the year we've left behind?

Have you been noticing little things around you, just beceuse you've had a little time on the beach perhaps, now that the weather is inviting you to enjoy the ocean breeze?

Do you notice that when you slow down, you become more aware of the little things, they seem to inspire you more and you see with a different eye?

Well..... I invite you to create with that same gentle slower feeling.

And see where your art journey will take you.

🌟Let's begin and create Magic this year!

(and yes, the theme for the after school classes is MAGIC, surprised?)

So, to all my currently enrolled students ... 

I cannot wait to see you all (again) and begin making beautiful things.

To those that have been thinking of starting your own artistic journey: 

There are currently limited spots remaining in the classes. 

Contact me 

and start making your marks :)

🌟

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2025 and a HAPPY 2026 !

STUDIO NEWS

After a very busy 2 weeks of moving, cleaning and organizing things, 

I am happy to say that the new space for Term classes has been well received.

Yes, I am still offering Creative mentoring and guidance,

but Studio hours and tuition is by by prior arrangement only

SUMMER SCHOOL for the LAST WEEK of 2023

 

PRE - CHRISTMAS WORKSHOPS REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

 

a new facebook Page for the Studio

► The Studio has a NEW PAGE on FB

Why? - my profile was taken down by FB -Why? - apparently my account got h*ck/-ed

(apologies, the spelled out word attracts unwanted communications in itself)

Subsequently I was restricted and eventually totally erased. What a weird feeling. It also means I have no more access to my pages and basically have to start allover again. Apparently that is how things work in FB land. You really never get to talk to a human there

..... Well ..... I started this studio and built it up from scratch from 2012 (I mean really from nothing after my earthquake experience) That is almost 12 years of work, all by myself. So, it's a bit of a nuisance really to suddenly lose all the history on that earlier page

(b.t.w. you can still see all the photo albums here > https://www.facebook.com/theartemistyoungatartstudio/photos )

I just have no way of responding to messages you send to me there though

► Still, I have risen up from the ashes before and I will keep doing this. Always with love and many thanks to all my lovely students and cheerleaders who keep supporting me,

much Love, Arohanui,

xx Joyce
