His unique and outstanding art classes are highly sought after and we feel very honoured that Antonis will be joining us for some amazing classes in August. Each Class is $135 (inlcuding GST) and Antonis will be providing most of the materials required including paints, mixed media, chipboard and embellishments so only basic items will be required to complete the classes.
