Kite Studios

We are a team of artists and educators who love to share and teach art. Since 2002, when founded by Auriol Herford, Kite Studios has been offering quality education in a wide range of art disciplines – for everyone in the community.

From preschool age children, to children with additional needs; experienced student or curious adult beginner. Irrespective of age, experience or income –everyone is welcome!
We’re so passionate about making art classes accessible for all, we’ve evolved over time into a Community Interest Company (CIC) and have set up the Kite Studios Sponsorship Fund to provide spaces on art courses for children and adults from families that have need support to attend art classes.
Our weekly classes cover disciplines such as print making (with an etching press), silkscreens, sewing and textile art, as well as the more traditional disciplines of drawing, pottery and craft-making.

We also work extensively with local schools. Explore our website or contact us to find out more. Whether you are an experienced artist, or pre-schooler’s mum, we’d love to hear from you.
