Tinker offers regular afterschool term classes Monday - Thursday afternoons at the South studio for Primary > Secondary students.
Our classes encourage creative confidence and individuality. Founded by Alex Stalling with over a decade of teaching the creative arts to adults > kids. Tinker employs professional, practicing and qualifiied artists with different styles and influences. We believe exposure to confidence in individuality and difference is key in the development of young creative minds.
Individuality is our difference. We love to give students the space to explore different techniques that adapt to their own interests. We are not afraid to gentle challenge their comfort zones and we embrace with wins and the not so great artworks too.
Tinker prides itself on offering a multidiscinplinary style of arts education.
Incorporating foundation techniques and modern styles.
Our terms focus on a key artistic style including drawing, painting, textiles, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking and mixed media.
Every year is different with most students rolling on from one term to the next growing and developing their skills.
We know that through exploring a varied range of artistic media students develop their overall creative problem solving, imagination and ability.
