Artis Kids Store is an artistic haven for children, where craft, clay, baking and recycling art sessions help them explore their innate creativity.
From the moment a child picks up a colour pencil and places it over a blank canvas, they yield power over their potential. Creative freedom is formative of a child’s future, and these values is the core of Artis Kids Store, an art and play workshop located in Publika, Solaris Dutamas.
Pastel colours, wam lighting and cosy art corners lined with assorted ‘masterpieces’ greet the young ones that form this cheerful environment of experiments and play.
Divided into five themed nooks of art workshop, eat craft, clay art, toddler workshop and re(cycling)-art, classes are designed for children across all ages, under the trained guidance of supervisors and teachers.
For a firsthand look of this stimulating concept, we take you down the rabbit hole of unique highlights that Artis Kids Store has to offer. Make sure to call ahead!
Art workshop
Children thrive on imagination and companionship, and drawing upon that, Artis Kids Store offers arty workshops in a communal environment, encouraging team spirit and interaction. Children can sign up for drop-in classes of guided drawing and painting, or if they prefer to delve further, immerse in a long-term artbook syllabus course, discovering various mediums like mix media, oil pastel, pencil, paint and scissors.
Classes from Thursday to Sunday, drop-ins accepted.
Toddlers are welcome
Little their fingers may be, but toddlers possess an imagination they naturally long to express. Through painting, cutting, moulding, colouring and drawing, the toddler workshop is an eye-opening process toucing upon various art mediums and tools. As colours, lines, shapes, textures and patterns are introduced, children pick up communication, motor, social and emotional skills along the way, too.
Classes from Wednesday to Sunday, children below four are welcome.
Eat, play, love
Cooking and baking is an art that fuels the body and stimulates the brain. This kitchen-based workshop provides a playground where culinary talents are nurtured through the basics of baking. As children master mixing, measuring, kneading and tasting, they absorb essential knowledge on food prep. At the end of the session, these young bakers would have a grasp of nutrition, food handling, kitchen safety, baking techniques, with a self-made delectable treat as proof.
Only by appointment, from Thursday to Sunday. Recipe calendar available.
Shapes of the future
Give them something to shape, and they’ll mould to their future. From animals to human figurines, children learn best when they get a full-on, touch-and-feel experience of creating shapes. A simple way to awaken their sensations, these step-by-step techniques leads to a cohesive thought process, as they learn how to build something from scratch. Monthly classes will allow children to complete one or two full-fledged projects within the period.
Classes from Thursday to Sunday, drop-ins accepted.
Re-art
Art is an exploration of mediums and materials, old or new. Re(cycling)-art classes emphasise the value of repurposing solid waste by restoring them into keepsake decorations, gifts or toys. Projects like milk carton army tanks, bottle aircrafts, paper mache hat, cardboard figurines, are just some eye-opening ideas to demonstrate the endless possibilities of making new from bits and bops. Different projects are subject to waste parts available, so call ahead to enquire.
Drop-ins accepted from Monday to Sunday.
