L1 – Juniors 5-7 years*
Artzone Junior classes are suitable for all early primary school (5-7 years) pupils, both boys and girls. Classes are above all fun, instructive and encouraging. We promote friendship, skills development and confidence building with our junior crew.
My Little boy (almost 5) attended the Greystones Artzone for 3 weeks (on a living social deal) and he absolutely loved it; kept asking me every day ‘how long until Monday?’! I thought initially he might be too young, but he is so enthusiastic about it. It’s great for confidence building,as well as creativity,and he seems to get alot out of it. We will be coming back!

Hi,
my daughter loves to draw and i feel this would be a good thing for her to get into. Is this on every thursday in lucan? how many weeks for €110 is it. She is now 5 when can i enrol her?
Thank You
You can enrol her anytime. Classes start back in all venues from Saturday 11th September 2010. €110 covers tuition and all art equipment for the full 10 week term. Regards,
Paul
Hi, do you also do crafts in the classes or is it just art? My 6 year old loves crafts and would be interested in Drumcondra. thanks, Ciara
hi , my daughter is 4 but has started primary school and she enjoys paint and crafts , my son has done classes and camp with you , is she too young?
eimear
Hi Eimear. The age for Artzone classes (5 – 7 years) is just a guide. We take children once they have started primary school. The junior portfolio is based on the Visual Art Curriculum for Junior Infants to 2nd Class. Regards, Paul
Hi,
My daughter turned 8 last October and loves doing art and craft stuff. I was wondering if the 8 -12 year class would be too advanced for her and if so would she be able to join the younger age class?
Also, are there any places left for the Lucan classes on Thursdays?
Regards,
Elaine
Hi Elaine, First of all there are places in the Lucan class. We have children of all abilities in the classes and the senior class is the right class for her. The Junior Classes are a good preparation for the Senior (8 – 12 years) classes but are not essential. If you wish to build her confidence your daughter could start out in the Junior class for a couple of weeks. Either way the teachers will make sure she is settling in and in the most appropriate class. Best regards, Paul
Hi, I am interested in enroling my 6 year old daughter in art classes in naas. Is there availability at present?
Thanks
Hi Anne, There are indeed places in the 4.30pm class in Naas GAA Club on Mondays. You can register online on our bookings page or give us a quick call on 01 4990614. Best regards, Paul
Hi I have a 7 year old girl and 5 year old boy. We live in donnybrook.
What venue close to us could we go to?
Do you have one off classes so we can try them put
Kind regards
Jean
Hi Jean, We have classes in Rathgar (Tuesday, 4pm); Blackrock (Wednesday 4.30pm) or Dundrum (Thursday, 4pm). You are welcome to come along for a trial class (or two) before commiting to the class longer term. Regards, Paul
My 7 year old would love to join an art class. Do you have any space in Castleknock.
Thank you.
Marian
No problem Marian. Just complete the booking form online, give us a quick call or email your child’s details to bookings@artzone.ie. Otherwise just call down to Castleknock Parish Centre and talk to Louise and Deirdre. Best regards, Paul
Hi, I have a 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter, My son loves to draw in cartoon style and suffers great frustration with his drawings often saying that they are rubbish when I think they are quite good for his age, they are always accompanied by bubbles of text, like cartoons. I was wondering if this type of class would suit him? He has never been interested in colouring books or structured work and often won’t finsih structured art projects in school but he draws and writes all the time at home.
My daughter loves to draw and colour and loves to do crafts, making masks using, beads, clay ect but I’m not arty and am running out of ideas to inspire her.
Malahide would be the closest venue to us, but the children don’t finish school untill 2.30pm and are involved in other after school activities so Friday would best suit. You opinion is much appreciated as to whether your classes would suit them and what availability you might have or if a camp is the way to start out with them. Thanks.
Hi Caitriona. Our teachers are all qualified art teachers so the develop comprehensive and attractive portfolios for the classes and camps. We have a second class on Fridays at Malahide at 2.40 (if you can make it). Otherwise we run a Saturday morning class at 11am in the same venue in Malahide. We would be happy to offer a free trial for both children so they can experience first hand. It will definitely suit your daughter. The curriculum approach might not suit your son, but try it … Paul
Do you have public classes running in Maynooth? Thanks
Hi Debbie. We have just agreed plans for a completely new venue in Maynooth Educate Together School this September. We are running a free trial this Monday at 2.15pm. If that doent suit just send us your child’s details and we will book you for a trial in any of the three classes in September. Best regards, Paul

You can book online at http://www.artzone.ie/bookings; call us on 01 4990614 or email me your sons name, address and two contact numbers and I will complete the booking for you. Best regards, Paul
Hi just wondering if there are places available in september at the maynooth venue, preferably the 2:15 or 3:30 class.

Christine

What venue close to us could we go to? Is the Kilester would be the best venue for us? Do you have public classes running in Kilester?when can i enrol her?thanks
A lot of our students from Clare Hall would go to the saturday class in Malahide. We have a very good team there from 11 – 12 every saturday. The next nearest classes would be Killester on Tuesdays (4.30pm) or Raheny Thursdays (3pm or 4.15pm). We are taking bookings now for September 2011. http://www.artzone.ie/bookings or call 014990614.

Hi,
when does the $110. have to be paid for the lexlip friday classes?
Hi Laura, We will take payments up to and on the first day of term (16th September) in Leixlip. Existing customers will have the option to pay in two instalments Sept/ Oct. Regards, Paul
Do you have any classes on a Saturday close to Clane, county Kildare?
My daughter loves art and would be great if there was a class on a Saturday for her.
Thanks
Hi Milita,
I am afraid the closest art classes to you on a Saturday are Tallaght, Rathfarnham or Malahide. We do have classes in Maynooth Monday, Leixlip Wednesday and Friday, and Lucan Thursdays. Regards, Paul
I purchased your deal on Living Social & looking to enrolled my two daughters Ella(5) & Chloe (6) into the Foxrock classes.
Maybe you could email or call me on 086-3279514 to make arrangements.
We can start from October 11th, with thanks – Lorraine.
Hi Lorraine, Unfortunately despite a huge promotion campaign we didnt get the numbers for a new class in Foxrock. We can offer you Mount Merrion at 4.15pm Tuesday, Blackrock at 4.30pm Wednesday or Dundrum at 4.30pm Thursday. All are nice venues with really strong art teachers. Sarah will be in touch to help you chose and register. Regards, Paul
would like to join the castleknock one actually, please ignore email before. i forgot she has dancing on thursdays… when the next term starting up???
The Castleknock class is back on Friday 13th of January with a new Fairground Attractions portfolio. You may book online at http://www.artzone.ie/bookings or email bookings@artzone.ie with your child’s name, age, address and two parental contact numbers. Happy New Year! Paul
Is there a minimum no for ex curricular artzone class to be considered viable at a school please?-we have 23 jnr& snr infants and 68 1st-6th class pupils?
Thankyou
Hi Jane, We would look to run two classes if possible of 10 – 15 pupils at 1.30 and 2.30 or to suit your school’s end of day. Our biggest expense is the qualified art teacher (plus art equipment) so anything over 20 kids over the two classes is viable for us. Thanks for your enquiry. Paul
we live in dub 12 rafters road..where is the nearest venue..my child is 7yrs and is interested in arts..
hi there
are there places available in your ballinteer classes on tuesdays in september for a 6 year old ?
Hi Fiona. We do have places in Our Lady’s School Hall this coming September. You can register online http://www.artzone.ie/bookings at any time or just give us a quick call on 01 4990614. Best wishes, Paul
Hi, when in September 2012 does term 1 in malahide start?
Can we do a trial class before we commit to full term?
Can missed classes be made up? Different time/ venue?
Kind regards. Pia
Ps age group 5-7 years. Starting senior infants
In sept
Hi Pia, The new term starts in Malahide on Saturday 15th of September. You can book a trial class before commiting longer term. Just request a ‘trial’ when booking online or over the phone 01 4990614. Generally if you miss a class your teacher can arrange for you to attend the same class in Killester (Tuesday), Drumcondra (Wednesday) or Raheny (Thursday) in advance – just remember our class week starts Mondays, so if you are going to miss a Saturday you need to attend the equivalent class the week before. Regards, Paul
Hi, I’m interested in enrolling my 6 year old daughter in the Firhouse class (Victory Centre). Do you have any places left? How much & how long is the course?
Many thanks, Arlene
Hi Arlene, There are places in the younger group at 10am or 11.15am on Saturdays in The Victory Centre. There are six weeks left in this term, so the fee would be €66. This includes all the art equipment and an Artzone T-shirt to cover her clothes. Just call 01 4990614 or book online http://www.artzone.ie/bookings/class-booking/ anytime. Regards, Paul
Thanks for the info Paul. Arlene
Hi,
My son is turning 9 in November and would like to do at classes. He hasn’t done classes before so should he be in the L1 or the L2 class?
Hi Chris. At 9 he will be in the older group – he will subtlety get more attention and assistance from the teacher than others who have been through the junior group cycle. We would still have a lot of students joining at 9 or 10. Best regards, Paul
Hiya just wondering do you have spaces for the 5-7 yr olds class in Drumcondra, and how much would it be for the rest of this term? (I assume it’s up to Xmas)
if there’s space for the 3-4pm – possible to start this weds???
Thankyou!
Caroline
Hi Caroline. There are places in the junior group at 3pm in Drumcondra and you can start this wednesday. We are 3 weeks into an 8 week term, so it would be €55 for the remaining 5 weeks. This will take you up to 7th November. You can book online anytime http://www.artzone.ie, call 01 4990614 or just call into Na Fianna at 10/15 minutes early on Wednesday and talk to Kathy, the teacher. Best regards, paul

Cheers
Caroline
Hi

Regards

Hi Lisa, There are places in the junior group with Phil. The term has been delayed at Greystones due to non-availability of the hall. You would be welcome to come along next Monday on a trial basis (cost €5) before committing longer term. Give us a quick call on 01 4990614 to register or book online at http://www.artzone.ie/bookings/class-booking/ any time. Best regards, Paul
Hi i have a 6 .5 yr old that would like to attend rathfarnham, is there a place available for him? When did/does the term start, and how much is it(if part way through)
