Term 1 2025 Course updates soon.
Get in touch to go on the mailing list. Please note that some Artrageous classes have a waitlist.

Lizzie has some amazing ideas for her own creative practice, so no adult night classes will be run this term. They will be back with bells on in 2025. If you need a weekly or fortnightly art fix, private classes might be a good solution for you :)

Stay tuned for special Workshops that are in development. If you like you can follow NZLittleArtSchool on social media to be kept in the loop. 

Little Art School is starting small but has a huge range of ideas and skills to share with you. The aim is to have fun while developing your range of art making techniques in a creative and nurturing environment. Based in the heart of Wanaka 2024 will see us expanding into doing more Workshops and Kid's School Holiday programs.
