Maitland’s creative scene just got a major upgrade. If you haven’t checked it out yet, The Studio Maitland is a new independent art space that just opened up over on Garnett Road, run by local artist Kimberly Swan.
It’s an entirely screen-free, hands-on workshop space designed to let you just zone out and create.
No ego, no pressure, just good design and process-based art.
If you’re looking for a creative outlet or want to get your kids off iPads and into making tangible things, her lineup is incredibly solid:
* For Adults: Unwind at casual Sip & Create nights, jump into weekend masterclasses, or build actual technical fundamentals in her foundational art sessions.
* For Kids: Messy sensory play for toddlers, home-school day groups, and structured after-school programs (plus they take Creative Kids vouchers).
* For Everyone: Inclusive, supported small-group classes for all abilities, plus private one-on-one sessions.
Give her a follow at The Studio Maitland, look at the upcoming timetable, and support a killer new local space.
