CLASSES/heART Groups
James loves to create with others, and offers art classes to Adults and Youth alike. This is student driven learning with a focus on Art Therapy. We can work in groups or 1 on 1 to develop your own creative voice, and learn to create in new and exciting ways.
Classes are available in person or online via Zoom or Google Meets. Book your session today
ART Groups
The Kaupapa of the heART Groups is to create a safe creative environment that allows the student an opportunity to connect with their Mana and Express themselves.

Methods
To create the initial environments, we follow some key principles that evolved from the initial groups.
Everyone in the room has their own sense of creative expression, regardless of skill’
Art is subjective and in this space we are here to create what is inspired by the individual.
There is no criticising oneself or others, this is a safe place to explore creative ideas
Mistakes are good and welcome
To use art therapy as a safe way for the individual to feel heard and valued
Music is a welcome part of the creative process, as it unites the group in Rhythm

We’re all in this together
