School Holiday Art Classes at Petone Seaside Art Gallery
Attending one of the beginner painting or drawing classes at Petone’s seaside gallery could be one of the most rewarding and satisfying activities youth could do these school holidays. Experienced tutors, Alfred Memelink (watercolour painting) and Kimbra Taylor (drawing), will teach you in a fun and friendly environment in a wonderful classroom overlooking the sea.
No previous art experience is required - these workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style.
