ART SCHOOL:  

If you’d like to enrol for Term 2, 2023 then classes are now available  on our website. https://wsa.org.nz/art-school/classes/

If you are enrolled in one of our art classes, please stay home if you are feeling unwell. Some of our tutors will still be wearing face masks and you are welcome to also. This also ensures our classes are less likely to be postponed or cancelled due to unnecessary sickness.

Our art classes have low student to tutor ratios so these fill up quickly, only 8 students per class.  Our experienced tutors have quality lessons for all ages and skill levels at the WSA. 

We now have Afterpay available. You can pay class fees, membership fees and more, over 4 payments, interest free. When you ‘view cart’ at checkout, click on the afterpay option.
