FAQ
FAQ
How is Smudge different from other art studios?
At Smudge, we do things a little differently, and joyfully so! Our classes are grounded in process art, which means we focus on the making, not the final masterpiece. Kids are free to experiment, take creative risks, and follow their own ideas — there’s no pressure to “stay inside the lines” or replicate a perfect sample. We believe art should feel playful, meaningful, and full of discovery. That’s where the real magic (and learning!) happens.
My child is slightly older/younger than the age range. Can they still join?
Get in touch; we’d love to help find the right class!
What should my child bring to class?
Pack a water bottle, some mess-friendly clothes, a spare outfit just in case, and a bag to carry home all the wonderful, paint-splattered creations. We’ve got the rest covered with art smocks and all the materials they’ll need.
Do adults also need to book?
No, when booking your child in for Kinder Art a grown-up is included in the price.
Can we have more than one adult come along?
Yes, more than one parent can attend. While we encourage just one grown-up per child to keep the space calm and comfortable for everyone, we totally understand that sometimes it’s unavoidable (like when grandparents are visiting, or a child needs extra support). Just let us know, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate.
Can I bring infant siblings along?
Yes, infant siblings are absolutely welcome to come along!
Can I use NDIS funding for the Kinder Art class at Smudge?
Families with self- or plan-managed NDIS plans often use their funding to attend our Kinder Art classes. These sessions are ideal for supporting early developmental goals around creativity, regulation, fine motor coordination, sensory engagement, and social interaction. We understand that every child is different and we’re always happy to help with tailored invoicing and supportive communication with families and educators.
Do you have pram or bike parking?
Yes, we have plenty of space inside
Where’s the best cark parking?
There’s usually plenty of free street parking right out the front on Union Road, or around the corner on Montrose Street. Another great option is the Coles Local undercover car park (entry via Montrose Street), just a short walk away.
