Available courses
We offer short courses at various locations throughout Vantaa. The language of instruction is Finnish.
On our family courses, children and parents, or other adults who are close with the children, complete various visual arts exercises together. The joint activity helps to develop the children’s creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
Courses for adolescents only are available at weekends in the autumn and spring.
Our summer courses provide children and young people with the opportunity to enjoy their summer holiday with fun and educational visual arts exercises.
The courses are taught by art school teachers or other professionals in visual arts. Course participants have access to good facilities and high-quality materials and equipment.
The course fees include the material costs.
Registrations are binding. If participation is cancelled later than five weekdays before the beginning of the course, we will charge 50% of the fee. If participation is not cancelled, we will also charge 50% of the course fee.
You can register for the course through the Eepos service.
