School Holiday Art Classes in Inner West, Sydney

Great news! This week I'm starting my new KIDS' CLASSES!

Kids can learn to draw and sketch cartoons in short classes after school AND during the NSW school holidays!

I used to teach kids' art classes when I lived up north, so it'll be a lot of fun help kids find their creativity again.

I've been drawing ever since I picked up my first pencil, and kids love to doodle and sketch, so I'm going to show them easy way to draw cartoon-like animals, people, places and things, and I can't wait!

Looking for something for your kids to do for a couple of hours? Bring them to me - classes in Annandale during the school holidays.

Cheers
Teena!

I love my new textile Moo cards

My new Moo Cards

Ohhhhhhh I can't help it, I love Moo cards!

My latest ones are based on photos of my handpainted silk designs, and they're bright and cheerful and perfect to use as business cards, swing tags, little bookmarks (with a hole punched and ribbon added) ...

Aren't they cute??? Ok Ok I know I'm biased :-)
