Adult Art Classes

ART ZOO
(established in 2000)
is a friendly art & craft studio
based in Sandringham,
Edenvale & Bedfordview,
Johannesburg.

We run weekly, ongoing classes for adults & children of all levels. We also offer monthly art workshops on a variety of crafts, styles, techniques & media.

'Teaching has given me a tremendous appreciation for a variety of art style. It has broadened my preconceived idea of what ‘actual’ art is. Every student’s work that leaves my Art Zoo studio is a beautiful piece of heart. I don't believe in art snobbery, each piece is as valuable as the next. That is ART!'

Artist trading cards:

What are ATC's?
-ATC is an abbreviation for Artist Trading Cards.
They are small, original artworks created on card with the intention of swapping or trading with other artists. (but you don't have to be an artist to create them.)

What size are ATC's?
-Artist trading cards are 64 × 89 mm (2 ¹⁄₂ by 3 ¹⁄₂ inches)

How do I trade?
-Exchange your cards with other ATC traders you meet at our monthly, Art Zoo workshops.
I allow fifteen minutes at the end of our scheduled workshop time for swapping.
Follow our upcoming workshop dates to find out the next trading day.
(YES, You can pop past the studio for trading, even if you haven't attended the workshop)

What medium can I use?
ATC's can be created in any medium. There are no rules! (well besides the size) Graphite, coloured pencil crayons, ink, wax, acrylics, Mixed-media, collage... The options are endless!
