Meraki Art School

06/08/2026

Our Saturday Inspire class is so much more than an art class.

Each week, our young artists explore new materials, techniques and ideas, while growing in confidence and discovering their own unique creative voice.

At Meraki, we believe art should be taught with passion, encouragement and inspiration. Every child creates differently, and that’s something we celebrate.

That’s a wrap for the summer! ☀️ Thank you to all our amazing students and families. We can’t wait to welcome you back when classes restart in September.

💛 If you or your child comes to Meraki, we’d love to hear from you. What have they enjoyed most? Let us know in the comments below!

This has to be one of our favourite makes of the summer! 🥧
Inspired by a recent blackberry picking, we created our own delicious berry pies... complete with the cutest little mice nibbling their way out! 🐭

Our Summer Workshops have been filling up so quickly that we’re adding even more dates! Keep an eye on our website, as you might just get the chance to make your very own berry pie too.

We had so much fun creating these artworks last week! The students were inspired by The Day the Crayons Quit and used their imaginations to show what their crayons might do on a day off 🎨✨
