Artspark Studio

5.0 out of 5 (View 7 ratings)

Artspark is a sun-filled art and sewing studio located in the middle of Rozelle. Our eco-friendly garden with edible plants is a home to guinea pigs. The garden is a perfect place to relax, play and source materials for projects. Students will have opportunities to tend to plants, and to associate with animals in kind ways.

Artspark provides school term classes, holiday workshops, weekend parties and events for children and adults. We encourage students to think and be creative. Students will explore and learn in a safe, respectful, supportive, fun and considered environment. We will show how Art is linked to a range of topics – society, our physical world, nature and culture. We believe art-making is also a valuable tool for self expression and gaining independence.

This quote from sculptor Churyo Sato speaks to Artspark's approach to creativity:

“ The purpose of artmaking is not to draw a good picture  or make things with well-formed line. Draw the things you see carefully and make the things you think with your heart. Then you will understand how wonderful nature is and what kind of person you want to become – That is the purpose” – Churyo Sato (“To person who will read this book,” Art for Children 1, 1980).
