" Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons" ( Al Hirschfeld)
Our classes at Create On Ormond are relaxed and informal and we cater for beginners to advanced students. Our aim is to help you develop techniques, work with new products and create confidence with your own artistic style whilst building a strong foundation for your art. By using an Art Journal for these classes you are able to keep a permanent record for later reference.. Most supplies for the various classes will be available to share in class however, you are encouraged to bring your own to use if you have them. Our teacher Saabira Raazac is a qualified Fine Art Teacher who studied in Canada and now resides in Geelong.
Journals and other materials required for class are available at Create On Ormond.
Bookings are essential to secure your seat.
