The Norval Foundation Learning Centre Hosts An Exciting Holiday Art Club

During the school holidays, Norval is giving young artists the opportunity to explore their creativity and imagination at an acclaimed institution. There are daily workshops during this time, ranging from watercolour lessons to oil pastel classes, led by professional artists and teachers. Each workshop is designed to teach kids new techniques, boost their confidence, and allow them to express themselves within a social, supportive environment.

By empowering the next generation with new skills, Norval Foundation encourages students to learn, experiment, and play with artistic ideas.
