  • 5/5 from Sharon Hutchison, attended Jul 2026: My daughter and her friend had a fantastic time at the 2-hour School Holiday Open Studio today. They were a little unsure of what to create at first, but the inspiration prompts and endless creative resources quickly got their imaginations flowing. They were so proud of what they made! As a parent, I loved that I could get creative too, rather than just sitting back and watching the girls have all the fun. Debbi and the staff were so welcoming and helpful, making it a really enjoyable morning for all of us. Best of all, I didn’t have to clean up afterwards! Highly recommend for a fun and creative school holiday activity.

Our creative studio is a vibrant space for adults and kids of all ages and abilities.
I offer creative experiences for adults, kids, and families to spark curiosity and the confidence to create in your own way.
Perfect projects or getting it right... Not really our thing!
I'm all about encouraging you to try things, muck around with ideas, use materials in ways they probably weren’t intended for and see what happens.
No pressure, no judgment.
Creativity done fun!
​​​​Can't wait to see you at Mixed Makers Studio.
