Creativity That Transforms Lives

At TLC, creativity isn’t just taught—it’s lived. Our unique Creative Spiral framework helps you unlock creative potential in art, career, and everyday life. Every student works on their own creative projects, guided by experienced tutors and mentors who support your unique journey—there’s no “right” way to create here.

Flexible Study That Fits Your Life

Study full-time or part-time, on-site or from home. TLC’s flexible options are designed to fit around real lives—whether you’re a working parent, a weekend creator, or a full-time dreamer.

A Supportive Diverse Community

TLC is a welcoming, inclusive space where diversity is embraced and support is tailored to your pace and needs. You’ll find encouragement, not pressure.

NZQA-Approved, Hands-On Qualifications

Earn nationally recognised qualifications through practical, project-based learning that builds real-world creative skills. No essays or exams: our students learn by doing and iterating, with guidance form those who know.

A Place to Discover Yourself

Creativity is more than a skill—it’s a way to connect with who you are. TLC helps you find joy in the process, confidence in your choices, and inspiration in every brushstroke.
