Hi! I’m Sarah, an artist and mum with a passion for nurturing creativity in kids.

I’m excited to launch my art club, offering hands-on art classes and workshops for kids. Come along as we explore new techniques, develop skills, and spark imagination! 🎨✨

✨ We officially kicked off our 2026 Homeschool Art Classes at Canola Kids Art Club this week! 🎨

My 6–11 year olds jumped straight into Still Life, with lots of fun objects of different shapes and sizes (most of which can be found at Temora! 😉)

We started with “learning to see”. Slowing down, really observing, noticing shapes, lines, shadows and details we usually miss.

I brought in a mix of objects with different levels of difficulty, and we played fun drawing games to loosen up before diving into our sketches. There was so much focus, laughter and fun moments.

It’s always amazing watching their confidence grow when they realise drawing isn’t about being “good at art”… it’s about training your eyes and having a go 💛

Such a beautiful first session for the year. I’m so proud of this group already.

Here’s to a creative 2026 ✨

Reach out to enquire about my Homeschool Art Program, Kindy Class kicks off in term 2 💕

Last week, my Homeschool Art Class kids wrapped up classes for the year by putting some final touches on their self portrait projects 👨‍🎨 Each and every one of them should be incredibly proud of the growth they showed, and the awesome results.

This class is made up of kids ranging in age from 5 to 11, so I have had the students form 2 groups, with 2 different age appropriate approaches to self portraiture.

My 9+ year olds started the project by learning about face mapping, which is a bit of a soft launch into the basic anatomy of the face... where to place the eyes, nose, mouth and ears. I had the students do some quick warm ups of silly faces, just to loosen up a bit, and then we had some practice together of sketching faces.

To begin the self portrait project, I had the students do a little brainstorming. What colours do they like? What clothes? What are their hobbies, interests and likes?
Some students chose to include these "symbols" to represent themselves also.

My under 7's group were given an introduction to collage. They were given printed out photos of themselves, as well as a variety of different colourful materials to decorate and express themselves with. They also painted portraits on canvas, and built a portrait from scratch using collage materials.

Each student was given a visual art diary, as well as some drawing materials in order to keep their creative spark going over the break.

I'm really looking forward to what 2026 has in store for this class, and I'm already busy prepping a year of really creative, fun and engaging sessions for my students 🥰
Please feel free to get in touch if you think this might be something your children would like to be a part of, I will be adding more sessions and new students are very welcome.

A huge thanks to the incredible staff at for welcoming me with open arms, and in many ways making these sessions possible. I appreciate you more than I can express 🫶

These Shower Whips are now at the regular price of $4 in store 🤯 I think they started at $9? I almost don't want to share because I am scared they will sell out 😂 But, they are our absolute favourite for bath time fun, and for any sensory activity that involves shaving cream.

I think I tried shaving cream based activities once or twice, but was always put off by the overpowering scent .. the affordable stuff was always too aftershave-y and so strong. These ones smell so yum, it was hard not to grab one of each before they fly off the shelves 🥰

My daughter likes to use them to make ice cream and cupcakes in the bath, and just to play with the silky smooth texture. It's a big hit for us 🩷

On Thursday, I spent another lovely morning with my homeschool art group, and this week, they began painting their animal portraits 🎨

We dipped into colour theory and beginners colour mixing, and the kids got their first taste of gouache and watercolour. Watching their animal portraits start to come alive was honestly magic.

It can be quite daunting to put that first stroke of paint on a beautifully drawn animal.. sometimes, it takes a little courage to make that leap and commit to putting down some colour. That's partly why I love working with gouache and watercolour... it's gentle enough to build layers (like taking baby steps 💕) and, you're able to wash out and soak up the parts you want to change. To a degree 🙈

I brought along a few of my own sketches and half-finished animal portraits, because I wanted to show the kids how strange things can look along the way (the “in-between” stage is rarely seen, and always a bit weird!). I think it serves as a good reminder that trusting the process is part of the art.

This little class is fast becoming one of my favourite parts of the week. 💛

Teaching my homeschool students has taught ME something too.. that I completely forgot how liberating it can be to have a sketchbook. A place to experiment, make mistakes, draw quick studies, and let go of perfection... I can't believe it has been so long since I have had one.

My homeschool students are just starting out with me, with animal portraits. I reckon in order to teach the process.. it's good to demonstrate and have examples. So I figured I would do a portrait at the same time as the kids. There are so many styles and approaches with art that I have ended up doing my animal portrait in a few different styles, some of which are not my style at all. It's been so cool to go back to 'play' with this stuff without the added pressure of painting something to sell or to hang.

This is a half hour "study" in my sketchbook, using ink and watercolour... hurried scribbles and random directional lines. Some of it works, some of it doesn't, but I have learned things from this that I can take into the class, and into my animal portraits of the future.

Usually I'm ridiculously private about sketchbook work, because it's not perfect...and (to me) it's not supposed to be. Putting it on show is me being quite vulnerable, but that's something I'm learning to be, also. I want my students to know that not everything needs to be a masterpiece, class is never a competition, and that there are little lessons in every scribble.. mistake or otherwise. 💛

I'm excited to continue these classes and see what other little gems that I learn and am reminded of along the way 🌼 S

✨ Save the Date! ✨
My next kids session is all about Process Art – and yes, it’s going to be super fun… and a little messy! 🎨😄

Process art is all about the making, not the end product. That means experimenting, exploring, and enjoying the creative journey – no right or wrong outcomes here.

We’ll be:
🚗 Painting with toy cars
🔨 Splatting with hammers
👆 Squishing with fingers
🌬️ Blowing with straws
… and plenty more playful mess!

This session is all about letting go, having fun, and embracing the chaos. 🥳 Kids can explore freely, and parents – you can relax knowing it’s meant to get a bit wild!

📅 Wednesday 1st October
🕙 10am
📍 Temora Arts Centre
💲 $10 per child
👧 Suitable for toddler – kindy ages (Being the holidays, I'm relaxing the age bracket to allow more kids to come and enjoy this fun experience 💕)

👉 Bookings are essential – just send me a message here on Insta or FB to secure your spot.

📸 I'm looking for a local photographer who may be available to take some candid shots of this session too. (Amateur or otherwise) send me a message if you feel this is something up your alley! ✌️
