The Feilding and District Art Society run Affordable Art classes, after school, for 8 weeks of the term, catering to different age groups and abilities.
These classes are reliant on funding and will be divided into groups based on age;
5-7 years
8-10 years
11-13 years
13+ (students)
16+ (Adults)
Classes are run by our two fabulous teachers;
Eris Newson, with students aged 5 - 10, run on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Cheryl O'Brien with students aged 11+ run on Wednesdays and Mondays
Classes run from Monday to Thursday beginning at 3.30pm. However, times and days will be confirmed when we know how many classes we have funding for.
Classes are $75 per student, per term. A discount is available to families who have multiple members attending (families are classified, in this instance, as those living at the same address).
Enrolments are accepted by those first booked, so register your interest for Term 1 of 2025 NOW!
Our Art Class Philosophy 2025 is to support lifelong learning in the Arts by;
Supporting intrinsic motivation and building on individual interests.
Creating opportunities for experimentation and expression that students may not necessarily have in the home or at school.
Our teachers focus on building foundational knowledge and experience by increasing exposure to materials, techniques and other resources.
We incorporate individualised projects, experiment based learning and opportunities for expression into our activities.
If you have a child who thinks outside the box, likes to work on their own creative projects, or shows some skill in the arts that you want nurtured, then this could be the class for them. Our classes are small so we can manage a range of projects, materials, interests and learning styles at the same time. Talk to us about any individual student needs or email us and we'll let you know if we can make it work.

Term 4 2024 was funded thanks to the generous support of the Manawatu District Council Creative Communities Funding.
