Creative Workshops in the Holidays
Our creative holiday art workshops are more than your average holiday activity. Our workshops are education and NZ curriculum based. We develop a rich creative process over 5 - 6 hours that allows for individual creativity and artistic interpretation as well as time to explore and experiment with ideas and techniques. We use quality art materials and tools. Our educators are experienced artists and/or teachers.

Rave reviews from happy parents
My son has attended Creative Matters Holiday Programme Workshops for 3 years, since he turned five, and it is something he always looks forward to come holiday time. Mandy and her team have created a wonderfully nurturing environment where our son feels comfortable and happy to spend the day. And we absolutely love what he comes home with each time! We display and have even framed some of his pieces. Can't rate it highly enough!

My daughter has attended numerous school holidays sessions at Creative Matters as well as the term classes. She absolutely loves going and always comes home with marvellous creations. The classes are well structured and the teachers are wonderful. Would highly recommend to anyone.

MODERN MASTERPIECE Herne Bay Wednesday Dec 18 Kumeu Friday Dec 20 
Give a masterpiece this Christmas! This workshop was so popular last holidays we just have to repeat it! The work produced using this more formal painting approach for under painting, colour mixing and blending is phenomenal and is a great base for understanding painting and colour better.
