Meet one of our amazing tutors. Anne-Marie Hamilton, a multidisciplinary artist who has spent her time sharing her skills as a secondary school art teacher as well as winning many awards for her amazing talents as an artist. Anne-Maries teaching is rooted in the belief that art is not just something we make-it's something we live. That ethos fits perfectly with what CS Arts achieves at every class, exhibition and get together.

With very heavy hearts we farewell Luke, pictured here in his element alongside some of his beloved C.S. Art artists. Our much loved tutor died suddenly on January 15th due to an arterial coronary occlusion. We are deeply saddened and will need some time. As such, term 1 2026 will not run as both a mark of respect to our friend and to give ourselves time to heal. We will open our doors again, as he would have wanted that, but for now kia kaha ka kite ano - stay strong and see you soon
