Creative Classes for Children, Teens & Adults

At Monica Burrows Art & Design, we run art classes on Tamborine Mountain for children, teens and adults who want to build practical skills while enjoying time in a working artist's studio. Sessions can cover painting, drawing and printmaking, with guidance shaped around age, experience and creative interests.

Monica has experience teaching participants with ASD, ADHD and NDIS needs, and relevant learning or support requirements can be discussed when booking. For more focused one-to-one development, our private lessons provide tailored tuition around individual artistic goals. Class places are subject to availability. To check a session or book, call 0427 453 982.
