Practical Classes

Term 3 classes run from 28 July - 18 September, 2025

Practical Classes are held on Monday, Wednesday & Thursday in weeks 2-9 of term.
Class is from 10am to 3:00pm, & the studio is open until 4:30 each day.

Our talented Toi Kaiako / 'TK' (tutors) will guide you in learning the practical & technical skills required in each discipline. 

(We have Creativity Workshops on Tuesdays instead of Practicals. All enrolled students are encouraged to attend. You don't need to register, just turn up in person or online - go to the school calendar on ORA for the link)

How to register

Visit each class page above for more information, make your choices, and register online. There are a limited number of places available in each Practical, so if a class is full you won't be able to choose it.
However, you can still attend a Practical you haven't registered for if there is space in the studio - ask the TK on the day.

For more info about how many classes to choose, please go to the 'getting started' page for your level on ORA.

Materials Passes

Some Practicals require a Materials Pass to cover additional materials supplied by TLC for use in the studio. These are classes that use specialist studios, such as Print, Ceramics and Jewellery

We'll come to the studio with our mobile eftpos, or you can buy your materials pass at the TLC shop. There'll always be classes that don't require a Materials Pass available. Please note, you'll need to supply your own art materials for all classes, unless covered by a materials pass. 

Casual Students

Casual students over 16 are welcome to attend Practicals if space is available. The cost is $660 for 8 sessions per term (no charge for sessions that fall on a public holiday). Some Practicals have an additional cost for materials supplied by the tutor and / or require you to purchase your own materials.

Please register online if you're interested in attending a Practical. We'll be in touch to let you know if space is available.

Please email or call us on 0800 278 769 ext 232 if you have any questions.
