Always available and always free, enjoy our Home Art Project in your own time and from the comfort of home. Just for fun, or to be taken more seriously if you like, we hope this content inspires you to create.
Born from a desire to help motivate beginner and experienced artists alike to keep creating during lockdowns, we bring you our new initiative to help inspire and educate. A great starting point to get the ball rolling at home, to keep the kids entertained during school holidays, or to get the creative juices flowing if you are experiencing a block, come back anytime and work your way through the different projects. Just for fun, or to be taken more seriously if you like, we hope this content inspires you to create.
