Drawing House

Ready to turn a blank sketchbook into your favourite place to be this summer? ✏️📖

Our Sketchbook Workshop starts NEXT WEEK, and it’s made for young artists who want to draw more, experiment more, and fill page after page with characters, ideas, observations, and creativity. No pressure. No perfection. Just the kind of sketchbook that gets dog-eared because you can’t stop opening it.

Spots are limited, and once the workshop begins, that’s it! Don’t let this be the one that got away.

🗓️ August 4 to August 7
🎨 All skill levels welcome

We are taking a longer(ish) break midweek!
Closed today Tuesday June 30th and tomorrow Wednesday July 1st 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁

See you Thursday July 2nd!

Got a kid who spends their days inventing characters, creatures, and entire worlds in the margins of their homework? This camp was made for them.

🎨 Character Creation Camp
📅 July 6 to July 10
🕑 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM daily

Over five imagination-packed afternoons, young artists will create their own original character, discover who they are, where they came from, and what stories they carry with them. Through drawing, they’ll explore expression, personality, costume design, and visual storytelling before bringing their creations to life again through mixed media experiments and artistic reinterpretation.

By the end of the week, they’ll leave with more than artwork. They’ll leave with a character ready for adventures of their own.

Spaces are limited. Your future protagonist is waiting. ✏️✨

🎨 Two spots left!

Join us this Saturday from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM for the final uninstructed life drawing session of the term at Drawing House. Work from a live model in a relaxed, welcoming studio atmosphere and enjoy a few hours dedicated to drawing.

This is the last life drawing session before we break for the summer and resume in the fall.

To reserve one of the remaining spots, call 705-503-2996 or email [email protected]

See you at the easels! ✏️

Warning: prolonged exposure to our Dang Prime spray paint display may result in creative impulses.

Fresh colours, smooth coverage, and enough shades to make choosing just one feel impossible. 🎨

Come visit us at Drawing House, stock up on supplies, and give your next project the colour it deserves.

Join us for LIFE DRAWiNG tomorrow!

One spot available, Saturday May 30th, 12 to 2:30pm!

Call 705-503-2996 or email [email protected] to book!

Welcome to Drawing House ✏️

Part art school, part art supply shop, part “oops we talked about pencils for 40 minutes again.”

We offer classes for kids, teens, and adults in drawing, painting, cartooning, anime & manga, life drawing, portfolio prep, and more, all taught by working artists who genuinely love what they do.

More than anything, we’re community-centered. Barrie’s art scene is packed with kind, talented, wildly creative people, and we’re lucky to be a little house where they all collide 🎨

Come make cool stuff with us 🖤

Summer at Drawing House is shaping up to be a sketchbook-stuffed, paint-splattered, imagination-powered adventure

From designing original characters to painting, illustration, sketchbook adventures, and creative experiments with new materials, our week-long camps and workshops are built for kids and youth who love to make things with their hands and imagination.

Each week brings a different creative world to jump into:
✏️ Character Creation Camp
📚 Illustration Workshop
🖍️ Sketchbook Camp
🎒 Sketchbook Workshop
🎨 Youth Painting Workshop
🌈 Kids Painting Workshop

Students will learn new techniques, explore different media, build confidence in their ideas, and head home with projects they’ll actually be proud to show off instead of mysteriously “forgetting” at the bottom of a backpack.

Small classes, real art skills, big imagination energy.

Spots tend to disappear faster than fresh markers at a kids’ table, so take a peek through the carousel and find your artist’s perfect week.
