The Painted Feather

OUR CLASSES

⭐ Art for Kids - 1 on 1 session for your 6-16 year old

Every child, regardless of age is at their own place when it comes to art and how they want to express themselves in the world. Our resident artist Jay takes pride in creating a space for Kids classes that is fun, engaging imagination and play to help them stay excited and empowered in their creations and self expression! Whatever their interest, the goal is to help kids boost their confidence, fine motor skills and self expression in a judgement free environment.

⭐ Group Classes for Kids - Art as a team for 6-16

Everything in our Art for Kids section holds true in our group classes, however with group classes for kids, we’ve found that the dynamics can be more challenging. Group classes for kids often include family dynamics, competitiveness and often kids across a larger age and therefore skill and interests gap. For that reason, all group classes are priced and accepted on an individual basis, however prices will never be above the maximum class cost.

OUR RESIDENT ARTIST

Our resident artist Jay has always had her unique view on the world. From a young age, she loved taking the so-called ‘rules’ of creativity and saying, ‘Sure, but what if we try this?’

When she was young, a perfect day out was a tour of her local art gallery, a trip through the second-hand store and as much time getting messy in the bush, park or backyard as she could get. As she grew, so did her appreciation of art in all of its forms.

After leaving school early to pursue styling and fashion and getting the opportunity to work backstage at various runways, she was diagnosed with a rare type of pain disorder.

Although this took her away from her work in fashion, it led to a lengthy stay with her Nan, who reignited her love and confidence in art. Art became her escape, her relaxation, her passion; it was everything. She began taking visual arts courses to stay occupied, and it was during creating a final art piece for one of these courses that she decided to take her love of both art and the environment and create beauty.

Her first feather was a massive hit, and when it sold, The Painted Feather was created. Since then she has taken her love of art, and her love of both the environment and the history of a preloved item to grow her small business into a beautiful mix of art and function as well as share the freedom of art with others.
