CLASS STRUCTURE

GENERAL ART CLASSES

At MZ Arts, we offer art classes in small groups with three levels of instruction: Beginner and Intermediate for ages 8–13, and additional Advanced for ages 13–17. Each class runs 1.5 hours and combines systematic instruction with personalized projects tailored to each student’s interests and needs. Alongside our regular sessions, we also offer special program-based classes during the winter and summer holidays, providing unique themes and creative challenges to enrich their break.

We offer Free Assessments at our studio by appointment, usually taking 30 - 45 minutes, to make sure the students are confident in their choice. ​​​​​​​​
