Creativity Travelling a Little Further ❤️🌍

This one made us smile! Our Head of Education, Christabel, who has volunteered with The Island Sanctuary Malta, designed a special colouring book for the organisation — and some of these books have now made their way to schools in Africa.

Seeing the children enjoying the illustrations and bringing them to life with colour is incredibly special. 🎨

We’re so proud to see Christabel’s creativity and her work with The Island Sanctuary Malta reaching young artists so far from home. ❤️

Moments like these make us so proud ❤️ Watching our young artists learn and create at the pottery wheel is always something special.

And we’re incredibly grateful for our wonderful teachers, whose patience and encouragement make moments like these possible🏺

👐 There's something incredibly satisfying about creating with clay.

A little moment from one of our pottery lessons, where students learn the art of throwing on the potter's wheel—developing patience, technique, and the joy of shaping something entirely by hand.

Every piece begins with a lump of clay. 🤎

☀️ Summer Shutdown Notice ☀️

Just a quick heads-up that both our Mosta and Gozo stores will be closed from Thursday 13th August at 3:30pm until Saturday 15th August for our annual summer shutdown.

There's still plenty of time to visit us before Thursday afternoon, so if you're planning some creative time over the summer holidays, make sure to pop by and stock up on your favourite art supplies beforehand. 🎨✨

Online Orders: To allow time for processing before the shutdown, any online orders placed after Tuesday 11th August will be dispatched once we reopen and will be delivered approximately 3–4 working days after the shutdown.

We'll be back refreshed and ready to welcome you after the break. Wishing everyone a wonderful summer holiday! 🌊☀️

✨ Freshly glazed and straight out of the Gozo kiln ❤

A few of the beautiful ceramic pieces created by our adult pottery students. Every glaze fires differently, making each piece completely unique—and that's part of the magic of ceramics. 🤎

☀️ A little sneak peek from one of the sessions of Summer Art Camp 2026! 🎨

This week, our young artists discovered the colourful world of tie-dye and natural dyes, experimenting with different techniques and seeing how creativity can come to life in the most unexpected ways. 🌿✨

One of the things we love most about Summer Art Camp is giving children the chance to explore a wide variety of artistic techniques, build confidence, make new friends, and create memories they'll be proud of long after summer ends.

We've loved every minute of seeing these young artists grow, and we can't wait to share more of what they've been creating over the past few weeks. ❤️
