Please read the terms and conditions of pausing in the other FAQ's below. The form to request a pause is here.

Is the class you're currently in not working? If your work changes or kids sport days move, get in touch and let us know you are needing to move your classes around. We are able to take note of your request and either do an immediate swap, or if the class you're wanting is full, we will make a note to do the swap when we are able to. You can find the class swap request form here.

Our classes run on an ongoing basis but in 10 week blocks (same as the school term) and we break for the school holidays. Students choose a class time that's the same each week and attend until their subscription is cancelled. The regular adult/high school classes run for 2 hours, studio classes run for 2.5hrs, kids classes run for 1.5hrs. During the 10 weeks we run through various drawing & painting mediums designed at giving you a broad experience of fine art.

All supplies are provided for the classes (except some supplies for studio students). We recommend bringing a journal or folio to keep your artwork in for the adults/high schoolers. We have a recommended journal suitable for the classes which is an A3 Winsor & Newton 200gsm Heavyweight Spiral bound journal, however if you have something suitable from home you can bring that in. Art is an investment so we believe its great to be able to look back on the work that you’ve made. 

We take complete beginners to practicing artists and everyone in between. We can cater our classes to your ability level depending on how much you want to challenge yourself and your experience. We believe art is a learnable skill rather than a “gift” some people have & others don’t, so all are welcome! It’s your responsibility as the student to communicate with your teachers how you’re going with your learning & what you’re wanting to get out of it. 

No we don’t currently offer trial classes. If you sign up to our classes & find after the first class that you’re not suited to them, you may cancel your subscription. Your account will have been debited for 2 classes.

We currently only have the ongoing subscription option but if you’re interested in more 1 off classes we run school holiday workshops.

You don't need to enrol at the start of the year, the beginning of each term is fine and we can even accept new students throughout the Term subject to what we are doing. We always come back to the foundations of fine art at the beginning of each term. 

We understand life can happen, so we try to help you get all of your classes in each term. You can do a make-up class at a different time slot. There are a couple of extra spots in each class for extra students. But the availability of those depends on how many extra people show up & how many people come to their regular class. It’s best to come a little early to secure your spot as it is subject to availability. There is no need to let us know if you cannot attend your regular class. If you need to pause your subscription please let us know via email.

You can pause your subscription. Please see the 'What are the subscription rules' question for more info.

Yes! We are currently planning workshops for the school holidays & weekends. There will be medium specific ones & kids workshops available for all different ability levels. If you’re interested just send us an email letting us know & we’ll add you to the workshop mailing list to keep you up to date. 

Yes we can facilitate these for groups of 10-30. Email us at hello@artschoolco.com & let us know what you’re thinking. 

Essentially no, best thing to do it to get on our waitlist & we’ll let you know when a position becomes available in the particular class you are interested in. Until then you aren’t able to reserve a spot.

If you add your email to our waitlist we will be in touch when a position becomes availble.

It changes term to term. But over a year we will cover, graphite, charcoal, colour pencil, biro, conte, ink, pastels, mixed media, watercolour, acrylic, gouache, oils.

We encourage all students to follow the curriculum for at least 2 terms before starting projects that are different from the curriculum. The classes are designed to push artists & encourage them to try lots of mediums. If you enjoy a particular medium you can opt to do an extra week on it. Just always communicate with your teachers your goals for the class & your learning. 

Unfortyunately no. You will be able to double up on a following weeks tuition to make up for your missed class however.

Yes! You can get your classes subsidised by the NDIS. We do not facilitate the organising of the funding, it must be self managed or done by a third party. Send us an email for further information. 

No not currently. We try to keep the pricing of our classes as low & reasonable as possible so we are unable to give out discounts.
