FAQ
What if my child has never taken an art class before?
All the class activities are perfect for first-time art students. We have a specific curriculum for each age group/level to try and challenge themselves with.
What should my child(ren) bring to camps?
Our classes will provide students all the materials needed - woo! Students just need to wear something they're not afraid to get messy in; we have aprons but you just never know in an art studio! Please also provide a water bottle, nut-free snack and or a lunch if they're staying for 'Lunchtime Supervision' from 12-1pm.
Can my toddler register for camps?
We highly recommend your child be at least 3 years old by the time of our Camps begin. Our camps are intensive and considerably long classes for most toddlers. Our schedule is super flexible, so you can try one 2-Hour Camp first to see if your child is comfortable with our classes. The recommended projects for 3 year olds are Painting Studies, or Sculpture Hand-Building.
If I sign up my child for a morning camp and an afternoon camp, do I need to pick them up during 12-1pm?
Lunchtime supervision from 12-1pm is free of charge when you book both a morning and an afternoon session on the same day at the same studio. Please provide a lunch and water bottle for your child if they stay. You can now purchase a 'Pre-Paid Package', which allows you to pick and book multiple 2-Hour and/or 3-Hour Camp sessions.
My kid is 3-5 years old, can they stay for a whole day?
We highly suggest students between ages of 3-5 participate in one '2-Hour Camp' a day as these are intensive art classes. We provide a short 5-10 minute break in a session, and expect our students to be able to start and complete the project at hand.
My kid is turning 6 years old this year, which age group should they join?
If they are turning 6 within 2-3 months, we suggest registering for the 6-9 group to provide a good challenge. Our instructors can offer feedback, and if the older group proves too tricky, adjustments can be made.
What if my kids doesn’t like making a mess?
Try Fine Art Drawing Techniques, Science + Art Exploration, and or Creative Story Writing/Reading for less-mess options. These are classes where we will be working on pencil and ink drawing, watercolour, and paper art for ages 6 and above are less messy.
What do my kid(s) take away from 'Sculpture Hand building' class?
We will get to explore Earthenware clay that turns into Ceramic masterpieces after 2-3 weeks of drying and firing.
What do my kid(s) take home from each class?
After each 2 or 3-hour session, your child will complete one project to take home, except for during Sculpture Hand-building class, any earthenware or air-dry clay needs more time to set. Earthenware clay work will take about 2-3 weeks to dry and fire in our studio kiln; we will email you when they are ready for pick up!
How many students will be in a class?
Our classes are structured small groups, with 8 students maximum to an instructor.
I want to cancel my booking, can I get a refund?
There is strictly NO refund of any course fees paid in the event of no-shows, and/or cancellations due to personal schedule conflict or sickness.
Changes for any confirmed/scheduled class or course can be made and finalized with more than 48 hours notice, if there is availability and at LAB management's discretion. There is a $10 administration fee per class/course transfers, class location changes, and/or credit requests.
How can I change my booking?

Changes for any confirmed/scheduled class or course can be made and finalized with more than 48 hours notice, if there is availability and at LAB management's discretion. There is a $10 administration fee per class/course transfers, class location changes, and/or credit requests.
I missed a camp session, can I have a make-up class?
