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!'

How do I trade?
