Sams Art House – the home of creativity is a delightful, vibrant little art school with two studios, based in the Northern suburbs of Wellington, New Zealand.  Sam is the owner and creative mind behind Sams Art House – the home of creativity and is kept ‘in check’ by her ever patient husband Shane.

Why did Sam start Sams Art House?

I grew up always painting, drawing and collecting stuff and creating things with that stuff. It’s always been who I am and probably will be forever! I naturally passed this experience on to my own three boys and they in turn invited friends around to create stuff! That’s how Sams Art House started! Back in 2012 A friend suggested I set up classes for kids and actually get paid for the ‘joy’ of it and here I am today!

I love to foster my same childhood experiences into my classes . . . to provide kids and adults alike with exposure to being creative, to think differently, to be proud and enthused with what they create, to be able to look at the world differently and create ‘outside the lines’.

I believe creativity is so important in everyone’s life, from youngsters through to the young at heart! It provides opportunity to leave behind the stresses of your day and lose yourself in colourful, creative fun!

At Sams Art House we provide a range of opportunities to get your creative juices flowing, from art, painting, comic and drawing classes for school ages, our ‘budding’ artists – pre-schoolers, holiday programmes at our main Ngaio Studio and other locations across Wellington, adults art/craft workshops, private art sessions, afterschool art programmes, Arty Birthday parties, work parties, exhibition space, visiting artists, DIY Creative Art Boxes, amazing handmade craft and artwork for purchase, the list is endless.

Thank you for coming to visit us.
