Join us to create, connect and nurture!
Our art classes and art workshops are small, warm and nurturing. We focus on providing unique art experiences in a safe environment with time to explore, learn and create. We welcome children, teens and adults to collect, re-purpose, potion, squish, press, tinker, colour, scribble, splash and giggle some magic.
Here are the types of art classes, workshops and art therapy offered here at Sunflower and Ivy. If your ready to browse and book, jump straight to our shop here.
Emotional Resilience Workshops
Where art and and therapy collide, emotional resilience art workshops carve a territory of their own. Each workshop introduces an emotional topic to explore. From Fear, anxiety and joy to hope, sadness, fairies, superheroes, monsters and mythical creatures our programs have something for every child (or adult) to explore and learn.
Private Groups
From the serious to the playful, Sunflower and Ivy can facilitate private therapeutic groups, a series of art workshops or a home-school class. Perfect for friends, kindred spirits or support groups.
Artist Classes and Workshops
Keen to learn more about art? Sunflower and Ivy offers term classes and adult art workshops that focus on building new skills. Each class or art-workshop draws inspiration from art masters or is themed with particular materials and techniques. But there’s no selling out, these offerings are still structured by our unique and gentle approach to art-making so you won’t be leaving with a replica, but your own unique artwork and a full heart.

Did someone say party? At Sunflower and Ivy we recognize the joy in celebrating big moments and each other. If you ‘re looking to celebrate a life transition such as a hens or another lap around the sun then we can tailor a theme to suit you. More info can be found here. Our art parties are all about the fun, but our skills as art therapists mean we are able to offer that extra support when needed.
