Welcome to Hoo Gallery Art Workshop! Your art guide is Dharshini de Silva; qualified fashion designer, teacher and mother of four children. Dharshini will be facilitating the workshops. 

​

The workshops are held at 7, Village Lane Mt Eliza. The number students is limited to eight students and will run for one and a half hours. Currently, we have a scheduled class on every Monday late afternoon from 5 until 6:30.Your child is provided with the canvases, art products and material needed for each workshop. The young artists will be guided, yet allowed to bring out the best of their own, during the workshops. At this workshop, we will create a finished artwork and endeavour to cover areas within the topics of composition, colour theory, art history, and art appreciation. They will feel proud of their masterpiece in each of the class they attend and take home a worthy piece to be added to your collection. If you wish, we can help organise your child's artwork to be framed by our local framer Kevin@Make Design.
