Creative Catalyst
nurturing the creative sparkDeveloped by visual artist Teffany Thiedeman — the Creative Catalyst experience is a blend of great fun, creativity, caring and education Our specialist school holiday program is a premium service.
We spare no expense.
We have the time, we have the patience and the skills, we have the facilities and equipment, and we don’t care how messy we get, to catalyse and guide a participant’s process from imagination through conception and design to making and finishing unique works of art. Workshops are suitable for a wide age range of 5 - 15yo
Our mixed classes of different ages and abilities are one of our strengths.
We pride ourselves on our in-house leadership program whereby older children inspire younger children to greater achievements, and many young people ‘graduate’ from our program, and return to work as ‘young catalysts’ themselves.
