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 mess-free 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?
At Steveston and Point Grey, we will get to explore Earthenware clay that turns into Ceramic masterpieces after 2-3 weeks of drying and firing. At Kerrisdale, we will introduce Air Dry clay which is great for hand-building as well, and students will get to take home after a couple days.
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.

I missed a camp session, can I have a make-up class?
